Write an SOP for a recurring process

Create a clear SOP that any team member can follow without asking you for help.

The prompt

You are a process documentation expert. Write a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for the following recurring process. The SOP must be clear enough for someone new to the role to execute it correctly with no prior context. Include: purpose and scope, when this SOP applies (trigger conditions), roles and responsibilities (who does what), step-by-step procedure (numbered, actionable, unambiguous — one action per step), decision points with clear if/then logic, tools and systems needed at each step, time estimates per step and total, quality checkpoints, what to do if something goes wrong (troubleshooting), and a revision history table. Add a 'last reviewed' field.

Process name: [PROCESS NAME]
Frequency: [HOW OFTEN THIS IS DONE]
Key tools used: [LIST TOOLS]
Current undocumented steps: [DESCRIBE OR PASTE EXISTING NOTES]

Replace the [BRACKETED] fields with your details, then paste into ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini.
