SOPs written from the way your team already works

Most SOPs never get written because the people who know the work are busy doing it. We interview your people and record the work as they do it, then turn it into procedures. AI speeds up production. The knowledge always comes from your people.

How it works

  1. Interview and record. We run the sessions and record the work. You approve every procedure.
  2. Ask follow-up questions. We close the gaps so nothing depends on one person's memory.
  3. Write it clearly. Short procedures with visuals a new person can follow.
  4. Organize the training. Procedures grouped into training outlines by role.

What you get

  • Step-by-step SOPs for the tasks that matter to your business
  • Video walkthroughs recorded with your own people
  • Checklists, visuals and cheat sheets where they help
  • Everything organized by role and loaded into your platform

Who this is for

  • Nobody inside has the time to write it down.
  • The way things get done lives in a few people's heads.
  • You tried to write SOPs before and they stalled or went unused.

Questions

What people ask first.

What do SOP writing services cost?

One role is starting at $3,500. A Partner that covers the roles around it is starting at $4,500 a month, in three-month blocks. The discovery call is free.

How much of our time does this take?

About two hours a week from the people who know the most. We handle the rest.

Do we need SOP software first?

No. We build in the tool you already have, or help you choose one on a discovery call.

Is a freelance writer cheaper?

Per page, yes. If the knowledge is still in someone's head, the writer needs that person's time anyway, and getting it out of them is the part we do.

Can we stop?

Yes, at the end of any three-month block, and you keep everything we built.

Do you only work with businesses in Indiana?

No. We are local to Lake County, Indiana and the Chicago area, and work with businesses nationwide, virtually.
