THE DOCUMENTATION BENEFIT
Onboarding is when you discover what is undocumented.
Use it as a prompt to write procedures.
"Here is how we do [task], described roughly. Turn it into a procedure a new person could follow."
WHAT TO PROVIDE THEM
How things are done here Who does what What to do when unsure Your AI policy, if you have one
