based on gap vs based on the gap

Both phrases are correct, but they are used in different contexts. 'Based on gap' is used when referring to a general concept or idea related to a gap, while 'based on the gap' is used when referring to a specific, identifiable gap. The choice between the two depends on the level of specificity needed in the context.
