Written performance expectations—goals you're given, competencies you're evaluated on, standards you need to meet—shift over time, and gaps between old expectations and new ones can signal that the goalposts were moved. Analyzing these gaps helps you prove you were meeting the original standard even if you're suddenly failing a new one.
Gap analysis in workplace documentation is the practice of using AI to compare what your employer stated your job expectations were against what was actually measured, evaluated, or enforced during a performance review cycle.
Vague or shifting performance standards are a common tool in constructive dismissal and targeted termination cases. AI can parse your offer letter, job description, performance improvement plan, and review documents side by side to identify where stated expectations do not match evaluation criteria, giving you concrete leverage in HR conversations and legal consultations.
