How it works

1

Count your system and your screens

Give your current component count and the distinct UI elements you can spot.

2

See your coverage

Component Gap estimates what share of your UI is backed by a reusable component.

3

Close the highest-impact gaps

Prioritise the elements that repeat across the most screens first.

Frequently asked questions

What counts as a 'UI element'?

Any distinct interface pattern — a button, card, table row, badge, or form field style — whether or not it's backed by a component today.

Is 100% coverage the goal?

No. Some one-off UI is fine; the score is meant to flag when coverage is low enough that inconsistency and rebuild cost are real risks.

Does this work for a scaling product too?

Yes — the product stage field adjusts how urgently gaps should be prioritised, since coverage debt compounds faster at scale.
