SOP & Process Doc Builder
Turn "how we do X" into a clear, step-by-step standard operating procedure. Write the steps, mark the decisions, check the wording, and print a clean SOP with a flow diagram.
New: Runbook Studio does everything this builder does, plus templates, run mode with records and interactive exports. Your backups from here import straight into it.

How it works
- Fill in the header. Every SOP needs a named owner, a version, and a next review date — otherwise it quietly goes stale.
- Write one action per step. Start with a verb ("Open", "Check", "Send"), say who does it, and what "done" looks like. Put detail in sub-steps.
- Mark the decisions. Phrase them as a yes/no question and say where each answer goes. The flow diagram is drawn from your steps automatically.
- Flag the risky bits. Add a caution note wherever a mistake costs money, data, or access.
- Run the quality checks. They catch vague words ("as needed", "etc."), long steps, and missing owners or review dates.
- Test it with someone new. Have a person who has never done the task follow the printed SOP. Wherever they stop and ask, add a step.
Templates are starting points — edit them to match how your team actually works. This tool helps you write procedures; it isn't legal, HR, or compliance advice.
