📊 Step 2: Log Task Details to Google Sheets Records essential task data — task name, assignee, and description — creating a central audit trail for all onboarding activities.

🧠 Step 3: AI Completeness Analysis (GPT-4o-mini) Uses Azure OpenAI GPT-4o-mini to evaluate each onboarding task for completeness across key areas:

  • Tooling requirements
  • Credential setup
  • Environment configuration
  • Instruction clarity Outputs: ✅ Score (0–100) ⚠️ List of Missing Items 💡 Suggestions for Improvement 🚦 Step 4: Apply Quality Gate Checks whether the AI-generated completeness
