Describe your flow's coverage
Enter total states, how many have defined error handling, how many have defined empty/loading states, known dead ends, and incomplete actions.
FLOW-GAP RISK SCORE
Flow Gap
Describe your flow's total states, error-handling coverage, empty/loading-state coverage, and known dead ends, and get a flow-gap risk score that flags what to fix before development.

How it works
We calculate a weighted gap-risk score
Missing error and empty/loading coverage scale with how much of the flow lacks them, while dead ends and incomplete actions add fixed risk since even one is a real defect.
Get a clear risk verdict and fix list
The score lands in low, moderate, or high flow-gap risk, with the specific counts and gaps driving it listed out so you know exactly what to fix first.

Frequently asked questions
Does Flow Gap parse an actual flow diagram or Figma file I upload?
No. Flow Gap computes a risk score entirely from the state counts and coverage numbers you enter yourself. It does not parse uploaded diagrams, screenshots, or design files, and does not run a real AI/LLM analysis step — it is a structured checklist calculator based on your own count of your flow.
How is this different from Flow Forge AI?
Flow Forge AI helps you build a flow outline forward from screens, decisions, and paths, scoring how complete the flow graph is. Flow Gap works backward from a flow you already have, scoring how much risk remains from missing error handling, missing empty/loading states, dead ends, and incomplete actions. Use Flow Forge AI to design the flow, then Flow Gap to audit it before handoff.
What counts as a "dead end"?
Any state in your flow where a user has no defined way forward and no way back — a common cause of abandoned sessions and confused support tickets. Even one or two dead ends in a flow add meaningful risk regardless of how many total states the flow has.
Why does missing error handling weigh more than missing empty/loading states?
An unhandled error usually blocks the user completely, while a missing empty or loading state is often just a rough edge. The score reflects that difference by weighting the error-coverage gap more heavily.
Is a high-risk score a guarantee of bugs?
No — it is a planning signal based on the gaps you reported, not a code or design audit. Use it to prioritize which states need definition before development, then verify coverage again once designs and copy are finalized.
How We Compare
| Feature | MVPHub | Figma | Maze |
|---|---|---|---|
| Flow-gap risk score from coverage counts | Included | Not included | Not included |
| Dead-end and incomplete-action flagging | Included | Not included | Limited |
| Visual diagram/prototype editing | Not included | Included | Limited |
| Automated usability testing with real users | Not included | Not included | Included |
Figma is where flows actually get drawn and prototyped, and Maze runs real usability tests against a live prototype. Flow Gap sits earlier and faster than either — a quick self-audit from numbers you already know, to catch obvious gaps before you invest in polished prototypes or paid usability testing.
