The 12 gap categories

Spexsure scores your PRD across 12 structured dimensions. Each category targets a common source of sprint failure or engineering rework.

• User Roles — all user types, roles, and permission levels are defined
• Acceptance Criteria — requirements have clear, testable success conditions
• Error States — failure modes, error messages, and edge cases are covered
• Performance Requirements — latency, throughput, and load expectations are specified
• Security Model — authentication, authorisation, and data access controls are defined
• API Contracts — endpoints, request/response schemas, and versioning are specified
• Relationships & Constraints — data entities, relationships, and business rules are sufficient
• Edge Cases — boundary conditions and unusual user paths are addressed
• Definition of Done — completion criteria for complex states are explicit
• External Dependencies — third-party integrations and blockers are identified
• Scoping — out-of-scope items are explicit enough to prevent scope creep
• Regulatory Aspects — data retention, privacy, and compliance requirements are evaluated
