# Social Posting Schedule Gap Check

## Inputs
The team-approved posting calendar, a platform export of published posts and approved exceptions.

## Workflow
1. List each scheduled slot from the approved calendar.
2. Match slots to published posts in the export.
3. Separate missed slots from approved exceptions.
4. Return the gap list for the marketing owner.

## Output contract
Slot | channel | scheduled date | published | exception | owner

## Fictional acceptance test
Fictional week: 14 scheduled slots; 11 published, 2 missed with no exception and 1 covered by an approved exception. Report 2 gaps and exclude the approved exception.

## Review gates
Do not publish, schedule or delete posts. Confirm timezone and export coverage before calling a slot missed.
