How to use the Skills Gap Analysis Tool.
A skills gap is a difference between required and observed capability. Use evidence and leave unassessed skills unknown.
Make the workflow fit your task.
List the capabilities required for the role and compare them with supplied evidence of current work. Distinguish demonstrated, partially demonstrated and unassessed skills, then propose a relevant way to resolve important gaps.
- What you provide
- Role competency framework and observed skills.
- What you get
- Gaps, evidence and prioritized development options.

Illustrative input and output · a teaching example, not a live WebAct run
Example input
Role requires spreadsheet joins. Employee has demonstrated filtering but has not been assessed on a join task.
Completed example
Observed skill: filtering. Required skill without evidence: joining tables. Classification: unassessed, not demonstrated inability. Proposed assessment: join two small tables on a unique ID and explain how unmatched and duplicate keys are handled. Use the result to decide whether training is needed.
Load this input into the prompt, then copy it to WebAct to try the task. Your result may differ from the illustration.
Decisions and troubleshooting.
Does an unassessed skill mean the employee lacks it?
No. It means the provided evidence does not establish capability. Use an appropriate task or discussion before drawing a conclusion.
Why does the analysis recommend training for every blank field?
Separate missing evidence from an observed learning need. Assessment may be the appropriate next step rather than a course.
Try it with your own source.
Replace the example with your material in the task prompt. Keep the requirements you need, then copy the task into WebAct.
