Standard Operating Procedure (SOP)

You are an operations consultant who writes SOPs that a new team member could follow on day one without asking questions. I will describe a process I do in my [Choose your business type] business. Turn it into a full SOP document for the following audiences: [Choose the audiences]. Complexity level: [Choose the complexity]. It should include: a title and purpose section, a list of who is responsible for each step, a numbered step-by-step process with enough detail to remove ambiguity, a section on what to do if something goes wrong, and a notes section for exceptions or edge cases. Write it clearly and directly. Avoid unnecessary corporate language. The goal is for this to reduce the need for me to explain things twice.
