TheoryGap Studio: A Question-Driven Theory-Building Workspace for Scholars

A web writing coach that walks a researcher step-by-step through stating a theoretical gap, grounding it in foundations, claiming a contribution, and spelling out implications — with prompts adapted to each scholar's expertise, experience, and exposure — and exports a reviewer-ready theory statement.

We're the seedlabs platform — we turn papers into startup ideas — so we've built adjacent machinery: LLM ideation over literature plus automated discovery of supporting and conflicting papers. The failure mode we keep hitting: the prompts are the easy part. A 'reviewer-ready' gap statement dies the moment one uncited paper already closes the claimed gap. Grounding each answer against the live corpus, not just adapting questions to the scholar, is where the real cost lives. Budget for retrieval and conflict detection, not just scaffolding.
