Sector Governance Gap
For each of the 14 economic sectors, the expert vulnerability rating (the panel’s median 1–5 judgement, rescaled to 0–1) set against governance coverage — the share of the documents covering each risk that also address the sector, optionally weighted by how well those documents cover the risk. Both are computed per risk subdomain and combined into a composite gap. The default corpus is 684 U.S. federal documents adopted between 2020 and January 2026; switch to All Docs for the full governance dataset.
Each row is one sector on a shared 0–1 axis. The orange dot is the sector’s mean expert vulnerability across the 24 risk subdomains; the green dot is its mean governance coverage. The line between them is the mean gap.
The Δ column is a different number: the composite gap, computed as the root-mean-square (RMS) of the 24 per-subdomain gaps rather than their average. RMS ranks a sector with one or two very large gaps above a sector with many small ones, so the sort order by Δ does not always match the visible segment lengths. Both numbers appear in the tooltip.
The Breadth & Depth toggle folds in how substantively each document treats the risk; Breadth Only counts a mention as a mention. A risk that no document in the corpus mentions contributes its full vulnerability rating to every sector — that is by design, not a missing-data artifact: zero coverage is the maximum possible gap.
The Δ column is the composite gap — the root-mean-square of the 24 per-subdomain gaps — while the dots sit at the mean vulnerability and coverage. RMS weights a few large gaps more heavily than many small ones, so rows sorted by Δ can look out of order by segment length. That is expected, not a rendering error.
Key Takeaways
- 1.Finance and Insurance has the widest governance gap (0.62) — experts rate it 0.91 of 1.00 on normalized vulnerability while coverage reaches only 0.30.
- 2.Its widest single risk is 6.1 Power centralization at 0.83 — the gap is concentrated, not evenly spread.
- 3.Health Care and Social Assistance follows at 0.53, while Agriculture, Mining, Construction and Manufacturing has the narrowest gap (0.28).
- 4.Computed over 684 U.S. federal documents, of which 606 carry a risk classification. Coverage counts breadth and depth.
Vulnerability is the expert panel’s median sector rating rescaled to 0–1 as (median − 1) / 4. Coverage per (risk, sector) pair is the share of the documents covering that risk which also address the sector; under Breadth & Depth it is the geometric mean of that share and the fraction of those documents rated “Good Coverage” on the risk (with a 0.1 floor, so a superficial mention still counts as baseline coverage). The composite is the RMS of the resulting 24 gaps; the plotted dots are the means.
