Execution

Trial gap (heaviest): T4 after approval — calendar write fidelity, PDF pre-fill→human submit, any leave-group action with confirmation UX.

Household

Trial gap: real two-parent load share; remove-member friction (delete group only); caregiver/nanny patterns within 18+ rule.

Memory

Trial gap: cross-week open-loop recall; what “memory” stores vs Chat history.

Privacy

Trial / policy gap: retention of shared-sender mail in CC inbox; training/human-review language under Google Privacy Policy for Labs CC specifically.

Availability

Access wave timing; Canada/AU/NZ waitlist language for upgrade.

Value

Gap: post-Labs pricing; whether Ultra/AI Pro ever required.
