Stark Industries PMO — Interview Build

Stage 3 — Automation Flow

Stark Industries PMO · 4 automations across 2 boards

BUILD IN PROGRESS

4 automations connect the tiers. Only #3 (deadline breach) can be built now — it depends solely on the Evaluation Deadline date column and Status, both available today. Automations #1 and #2 depend on the Completeness Score formula (Stage 5); #4 depends on Connect Boards (Stage 6).

Decision gate
The one automation to build now:
When Evaluation Deadline arrives AND Status ≠ Approved/Rejected → notify Assigned PM + Pepper.

This is the SLA breach notification — the "watch it fire" moment for the live demo. The other 3 automations depend on the Completeness Score formula (Stage 5) and Connect Boards (Stage 6). Explaining why they're gated on those columns demonstrates architectural thinking — you don't wire automations against columns that don't exist yet.
