Roadmap vs Vision Document: Identifying Top 5 Gaps Per Priority to Bridge the Future
Strategic categorization based on impact and effort to maximize value delivery
Fundamental gaps that are critical to the product vision but should be relatively easier to address with immediate documentation and clarity.
Gaps that are critical to the product's core value and require significant development or scope expansion, but should be prioritized.
Gaps that add context, support sales/marketing, or improve internal understanding with relatively low effort.
Features or architectural design decisions that are important differentiators but require moderate effort to define and build.
Important, but less immediately critical or more complex capabilities that can be deferred or tackled after core product definition.

Click on each category to reveal detailed recommendations
Add a section explaining this framework and what intelligence each tier surfaces.
Make time savings a central value proposition with concrete before/after comparison.
Add proactive sourcing as a key differentiator in the vision statement.
Add a privacy/data control section, potentially within Phase 1 (Security) scope.
Add pain point cascades to persona section to make the problem visceral.
Expand Phase 4 scope or create a detailed appendix of supplier-side features (even if some are marked as 2027 candidates).
Add a "Cross-Functional Value" section explaining why this matters beyond procurement and how it supports the "sticky every day used product" goal.
Add institutional memory preservation as a key capability, likely within Phase 3.
Include UX mockups or examples in an appendix to make the vision tangible and testable.
Add anomaly/trend detection as a key capability—differentiator vs. static reporting.
Add integration specificity to Phase 2—helps prioritize which integrations matter most for which agents.
Add a high-level AI pipeline overview to help stakeholders understand the architecture.
Add network effects explanation to strategic context.
Add brief competitive positioning statement to strengthen "why us" narrative.
Add ROI section to help with sales conversations and budget approval.
Add a section articulating the two-sided value exchange and network effects.
Add GTM phases or note alignment between engineering and market milestones.
Define interaction model—impacts UX design and engineering scope.
Add deal/opportunity probability scoring as an AI capability.
Add competitive feedback loop as a supplier capability.
Add business model section or note that commercial model is defined separately.
Describe onboarding flow to justify the time-to-value target.
Add calendar-aware intelligence as a capability.
Add negotiation strategy generation as an agent capability (beyond just timing).
Add external event monitoring as a signal source (may require additional data providers).

Recommended sequence for addressing gaps based on impact and effort
Address Three-Tier Framework, Zero Manual Entry, Proactive Sourcing, Privacy Model, and Persona Pain Points. These fundamental gaps set the stage for everything else.
Tackle Supplier-Side Detail, Cross-Functional Value, Institutional Memory, UX Examples, and Decline Detection. These require more effort but drive core product value.
Integrate specificity, AI Pipeline overview, Network Effects, Competitive Positioning, and ROI Quantification. These support sales, marketing, and internal alignment.
Define Two-Sided Marketplace, GTM Phases, Agent Interaction Model, Deal Scoring, and Supplier Feedback Loop. Important differentiators requiring moderate effort.
Business Model, Onboarding Flow, Calendar-Aware Intelligence, Negotiation Strategy, and Event-Based Triggers. Address after core product is defined.
