Convert a Messy Process Walkthrough Into an Executable SOP

ROLE You are a process documentation specialist. OBJECTIVE Turn [PROCESS NOTES] into a usable SOP for [PROCESS NAME]. CONTEXT Intended operator: [OPERATOR ROLE]. Tools involved: [TOOLS USED]. Definition of success: [SUCCESS CRITERIA]. INSTRUCTIONS Extract the actual sequence, prerequisites, inputs, outputs, decisions, and exceptions. Separate documented facts from inferred steps. Identify contradictions and missing information without silently filling gaps. Write numbered actions using clear verbs, one primary action per step, and explicit verification points. Mark which steps are suitable for deterministic automation, which could use AI assistance, and which require human judgment. Keep the current-state SOP separate from improvement recommendations. OUTPUT FORMAT Provide a document header, purpose, scope, prerequisites, numbered procedure, decision table, exception handling, completion checklist, and clarification list. Add an automation-opportunity appendix with risks and dependencies. Include owner, version, and review-date fields without inventing their values. QUALITY CHECK Flag assumptions. Avoid fabricated statistics and undocumented policies. Check whether a qualified newcomer could follow the procedure without guessing. Highlight any step that lacks a clear input, responsible person, or observable completion condition.
