What this solves
People know how to do the work but struggle to convert that knowledge into a structure AI or teammates can use.
- The process exists only in spoken form.
- A good operator can explain it but not write it cleanly.

SOP Capture Worksheet
A worksheet that helps operators extract a usable process from a voice note, screen recording, or rough handoff explanation.
What AI is good at here
- Turning unstructured explanations into step-by-step drafts.
What AI should not own
- Humans still approve the final process and exception rules.
Best first implementation
- Capture trigger, steps, decision points, handoff, exceptions, and quality checks.
What good looks like
- One useful SOP exists where none existed before.
Common mistakes
- Trying to document everything at once.
- Skipping decision points and only listing steps.
