Check the box
To complete a task with minimal effort, usually just to satisfy a requirement rather than actually accomplish anything meaningful.
Examples
Examples:
- "We just need to check the box on this compliance requirement." (we'll do the bare minimum)
- "I'll check the box and move on." (I'll do it quickly and forget about it)
- "This is just a check-the-box exercise." (this is pointless but required)
