# Data Gap

A data gap is a lack of, or inability to obtain, information required by the all appropriate inquiries standards despite good faith efforts by the environmental professional to gather it.

## Why it matters

Missing records, denied access or unavailable interviews can create data gaps. The report should say whether a gap is significant to the conclusions. Large gaps can reduce confidence in the Phase I and may call for added steps.
