## Direct answer

Use ChatGPT Work to turn the signed scope, customer-provided information, approved implementation plan, service rules, and known open issues you supply into an onboarding review checklist: preserve who committed to what, what has been evidenced, and which handoff still needs an accountable owner. It can organize facts, draft a readiness packet, and surface gaps; it cannot authenticate a customer, change a record, grant access, accept terms, promise delivery, resolve a dispute, or contact the customer. The checklist prepares a human-controlled onboarding release—it does not perform one.

## Best uses

- Keep records of customer interactions or transactions, recording details of inquiries, complaints, or comments, as well as actions taken.
  - Artifact: Customer onboarding interaction record with source, owner, commitment, and open-issue state
  - Review: The accountable service owner verifies the customer record, commitments, and unresolved issues.
- Answer customers' questions about services, prices, availability, or credit terms.
  - Artifact: Approved-answer and expectation matrix separating verified terms from draft responses
  - Review: The sales or commercial owner approves terms, pricing, availability, and customer-facing commitments.

## Workflows

### Prepare a customer-onboarding readiness checklist from approved, human-supplied evidence while keeping customer identity, terms, access, commitments, record changes, and communications behind accountable review.

Steps: Register each onboarding requirement, source, owner, stated commitment, effective date, evidence state, dependency, customer-record reference, and open issue without treating supplied information as authenticated or authoritative. → Compare the supplied materials with approved scope, service rules, privacy and access requirements; separate verified terms from proposed responses, planned access from granted access, and customer request from approved change. → Produce a readiness checklist and handoff queue, then stop before authenticating identity, changing customer records, provisioning access, accepting terms, making a commitment, resolving a dispute, or contacting the customer.

Artifact: Customer-onboarding readiness checklist with commitment register, evidence log, owner handoffs, open issues, and release gates

Human review: The accountable customer-success, implementation, security, privacy, service, and commercial owners verify identity, scope, terms, readiness, access, commitments, record actions, and customer communication at the onboarding release gate.

## Human-owned responsibilities

- Customer-success, implementation, security, privacy, service, and commercial owners retain identity verification, scope and terms interpretation, access, commitments, record changes, exceptions, dispute handling, release, and customer communication.
