Study 06 / East Fen Community Foundation
Where need, provision and funding do not yet line up.
A transparent shortlist of areas to investigate next—built from observable need, known services and recorded grant coverage.
Read this as a funding hypothesis
“Gap” means the public evidence is worth checking with local people. It does not mean a service is absent or that funding will solve the need.

Priority hypothesis 01
East Marsh North
High observable need, thin recorded provision, and no recent grants tagged to this theme.
Medium confidence
A useful place to ask better questions
The combination is unusual within the comparison geography. Confirm missing informal provision and whether transport friction limits reach before designing a fund.
Traceable inputs
Evidence behind the signal
Values are shown against the East Fen comparison geography. Percentiles are not diagnoses; they are a way to find where a conversation may be worthwhile.
Funder workflow
Local validation
Turn the signal into a useful conversation with people who know the area.
Saved to this local prototype only.
Method / limitations
A shortlist, not a verdict.
GapSignal keeps the components visible: relative need, observable supply, estimated reach friction and recorded funding. The priority view helps a funder choose where to validate first; it does not rank organisations, assess eligibility or claim that a community has no support.
01Versioned
Every result carries a study date and source vintage.
02Human checked
Local knowledge can correct the hypothesis without changing the raw source.
03Evidence linked
Each claim points back to a named publisher and retrieval date.
