Complete the sentence. A gap analysis will enable the architect to do all of the following except _____.

A gap analysis identifies components or capabilities that are absent from the baseline but required in the target architecture, thus identifying inadvertently omitted building blocks.

By comparing the baseline and target, a gap analysis can reveal building blocks that are present in the current state but deliberately excluded from the desired future state.

A gap analysis helps to determine which existing building blocks in the baseline architecture align with and can be carried over to the target architecture, as they do not represent a gap.

The primary purpose of a gap analysis is to highlight the differences between the current and desired states, explicitly identifying where new building blocks are necessary to bridge these gaps.

Identifying potential vendors to provide new building blocks is typically a procurement or solution acquisition activity that follows architectural design and gap analysis, rather than being a direct outcome of the gap analysis itself.
