Turn Rough Process Notes into a Polished SOP in Minutes

Turn these rough notes into a professional Standard Operating Procedure document.

PROCESS NAME: [name of the process]
OWNER: [who's responsible for this process]
FREQUENCY: [how often this runs — daily, weekly, per-event, etc.]

MY ROUGH NOTES:
[Paste your brain dump, bullet points, Loom transcript, or however you captured the process. Don't worry about structure — just get the content down.]

Create an SOP with these sections:

1. PURPOSE: One sentence — why does this process exist?
2. WHEN TO USE: Trigger events that kick off this process
3. WHO'S INVOLVED: Roles needed (not specific people — roles)
4. PREREQUISITES: What needs to be true before starting
5. STEP-BY-STEP PROCEDURE: Numbered steps with enough detail that someone with no context could follow them
6. DECISION POINTS: Any places where the process branches based on a condition (if X, do Y; if not, do Z)
7. COMMON MISTAKES: Things people typically get wrong
8. EDGE CASES: Unusual situations and how to handle them
9. TOOLS & ACCESS NEEDED: Software, credentials, permissions required
10. QUALITY CHECK: How to verify the process was done correctly
11. ESCALATION: When and how to escalate if something goes wrong

After generating the SOP, list any gaps — steps I probably do unconsciously that I didn't mention but a new hire would need to know.
