AI+ for Standard Operating Procedures
Draft, Improve and Maintain SOPs That People Actually Follow
Your SOPs exist. Most of them don't work.
Your SOP library has documents that don't match what people actually do — and processes that aren't documented at all. This book teaches the CLEAR Protocol, a five-stage AI-assisted workflow for drafting any SOP from rough notes in hours, not days. Across 35+ prompt templates, you'll capture tacit knowledge, fix the eleven clarity faults that make SOPs unusable, write for compliance without losing practitioners, and generate training materials directly from completed documents. Includes a 90-day improvement plan and Risk-Based Review Matrix for governing your whole library. Built by an AI engineering firm for quality managers and operations professionals who know the processes — and finally have the tools to document them properly.
