Frequently asked questions

What should an SOP include?

A complete SOP includes: purpose and scope, definitions of key terms, step-by-step procedure with owner and timing for each step, decision points, templates or scripts to use, and a version history with review schedule.

How long should an SOP be?

Long enough to leave no ambiguity about what to do — short enough that people actually read it. Most operational SOPs are 3–6 pages. If you need more, split into multiple SOPs.

Is this SOP template free?

Yes — free to use. Describe your process, teams, and decision points to the AI and it will structure the full SOP.
