SOP: [task name]
Purpose: [one sentence]
Done when: [observable result]

TOOLS AND ACCESS

WARNING
- [failure point from speaker]

GAPS TO RESOLVE
- [GAP: ask about ...] or NONE

FINAL CHECK

Purpose: Obtain current insurance certificates from active vendors.
Done when: Each active vendor has a current date and saved certificate.

- Confirm every updated date has a matching saved certificate.

- Keep alternate paths when the speaker describes real exceptions.

- Do not convert a personal preference into a required policy unless the speaker says it is required.

- When step references are not yet known, finish the sequence first, then number decision jumps correctly.

- Never include passwords or secret values from the transcript; name the required access only.

Subject: Current COI for vendor V-204

Hi Bright HVAC team,

Your certificate of insurance expired July 1. I first requested the updated certificate on July 3. Please send the current COI by July 15 so we can keep vendor ID V-204 active.

If we do not have it by July 15, new work orders will pause until the current certificate is on file.

Thanks,
[NAME]

- Escape quotes and parentheses so each Boolean string is syntactically balanced.

- If the source names zero companies, show both counts as 0 rather than inventing examples.

WORKFLOW MAP
1. [source step]

RE-TYPING
- Step [N]: [data] moves from [source] to [destination]

TRIBAL KNOWLEDGE
- Step [N]: [unstated rule/person dependency]

SILENT FAILURES

RULE VS JUDGMENT
- Step [N]: [RULE or JUDGMENT] | Stateable rule: [rule or NOT YET STATED]

BEST EFFORT-TO-RELIEF CHANGE
Change: [one specific change]
Why this first: [ties to named steps]
Effort: [low/medium/high with reason]
Relief: [specific manual work or risk removed]
Proof it worked: [observable metric]

GAPS
- [question needed to validate the recommendation or NONE]

Input: "The receptionist copies web leads into a sheet. Every afternoon Kim checks the sheet and decides who gets called. She remembers which zip codes we cover. If she is out, the sheet waits until someone asks why a lead was missed."
Output:
WORKFLOW MAP
1. Receptionist copies web leads into a sheet.
2. Kim reviews the sheet each afternoon.
3. Kim decides who gets called using service-area knowledge.

RE-TYPING
- Step 1: Web lead data moves from the web form to the sheet.

TRIBAL KNOWLEDGE
- Step 3: Covered zip codes live in Kim's head.

SILENT FAILURES
- Step 2: The daily review can be skipped | Detection delay: until someone asks about a missed lead | Who notices: UNKNOWN

RULE VS JUDGMENT
- Step 3: RULE | Stateable rule: Match lead zip code against the covered zip-code list.

BEST EFFORT-TO-RELIEF CHANGE
Change: Send web-form submissions directly into the sheet and alert when a zip code is outside a maintained coverage table.
Why this first: Removes step 1 and externalizes the rule in step 3.
Effort: Low, because the source and destination already exist.
Relief: Stops re-typing and removes the single-person service-area dependency.
Proof it worked: Zero manually copied leads and every submission receives a coverage result.

GAPS
- Who owns the covered zip-code list?
- How quickly must a new lead be assigned?

- Keep genuine judgment with a human checkpoint; do not force every decision into a rule.

- If the workflow skips step numbers, reconstruct the sequence without inventing actions.

- If volume, time, or error data is absent, mark it UNKNOWN and ask for the smallest fact needed.

- Recommend one first change, not a full transformation roadmap.
