It is designed to be fully deployable to Google Cloud Run and BigQuery.\n\nPicture this: a telecom company hands you a CSV file with 915 clients.\n\nYou open it, run a quick analysis, and discover **23.4% of those clients are about to leave** next quarter. That's not a statistic — that's **€142,500 in preventable annual losses** sitting quietly in a spreadsheet, waiting for someone to do something about it.\n\nThe real problem isn't the data. It's what happens next:\n\n**That's exactly the gap Dataset Automator was built to close.**\n\n**Dataset Automator** is a **Spatial, Multi-Agent MLOps & Executive Decision Center** that transforms any tabular dataset (CSV or Excel) into:\n\n✅ A certified, production-ready ML model (Google TabFM)\n\n✅ An executive financial ROI report in plain language\n\n✅ EU AI Act-compliant cryptographic attestations (RSASSA-PSS-SHA256)\n\n✅ A standalone 55-cell Jupyter HTML notebook with all outputs embedded\n\n**In under 60 seconds.

At scale, this becomes prohibitive. The solution? **Cascade Routing with Google Gemma 2B**.\n\n```\nclass AdaptiveModelRouter:\n    \"\"\"\n    Cascade arbitration: route tasks to the most cost-efficient model.\n    - Routine telemetry & trace evaluation → Google Gemma 2B (local, 152ms, $0.00)\n    - Complex reasoning & deliberation     → Gemini 3.5 Flash  (API, ~800ms)\n    \"\"\"\n\n    def route(self, task: dict) -> str:\n        complexity_score = self._compute_complexity(task)\n\n        if complexity_score < 0.40:\n            # Simple pattern → Gemma 2B local inference\n            return self.gemma_2b.evaluate(task[\"trace\"])\n\n        elif complexity_score < 0.75:\n            # Intermediate → Gemini Flash (fast)\n            return self.gemini_flash.generate(task[\"prompt\"])\n\n        else:\n            # High-stakes reasoning → Gemini Pro\n            return self.gemini_pro.generate(task[\"prompt\"])\n\n    def _compute_complexity(self, task: dict) -> float:\n        \"\"\"Score based on token length, tool calls, and ambiguity signals.\"\"\"\n        token_score   = min(len(task.get(\"trace\", \"\")) / 2000, 0.5)\n        tool_score    = min(len(task.get(\"tool_calls\", [])) * 0.1, 0.3)\n        ambiguity     = 0.2 if \"?\" in task.get(\"prompt\", \"\") else 0.0\n        return token_score + tool_score + ambiguity\n```\n\n**Results on our telecom dataset:**\n\n| Model Used | Tasks | Cost | Avg. Latency |\n|---|---|---|---|\n| Google Gemma 2B (local) | 847 / 1000 (85%) | $0.00 |\n152 ms |\n| Gemini 3.5 Flash | 153 / 1000 (15%) | $0.003 | 820 ms |\nTotal |\n1000 |\n$0.003 |\n— |\n| Monolithic GPT-4 equivalent | 1000 | $0.35 | 1200 ms |\n\nResult: 125× cost reductionwithout any loss in reasoning quality for high-stakes decisions.\n\nThe most impactful innovation in Dataset Automator is the **Progressive Human-in-the-Loop approval engine**. Instead of a single \"approve/reject\" at the end, the system enforces **four distinct approval gates** — each revealing exactly what the agent is about to do.\n\nWhen `clients.csv`\n\nis loaded, the system automatically classifies the business domain:\n\n``` php\ndef detect_domain(df: pd.DataFrame) -> dict:\n    \"\"\"\n    Neo4j GraphRAG query: match dataset column signatures to\n    OKF v0.2 business domain ontology (295 nodes, 413 relationships).\n    \"\"\"\n    column_signature = frozenset(df.columns.str.lower())\n\n    telecom_signals = {\"monthly_charges\", \"tenure\", \"contract\", \"churn\"}\n    finance_signals = {\"debt_ratio\", \"credit_score\", \"income\", \"default\"}\n    health_signals  = {\"bmi\", \"glucose\", \"insulin\", \"diagnosis\"}\n\n    if len(column_signature & telecom_signals) >= 3:\n        return {\n            \"domain\": \"Télécom & Churn Prediction\",\n            \"okf_formulas\": [\"ARPU\", \"CSR (Churn Survival Rate)\", \"LTV\"]\n        }\n    # ...
