Section 1
The premise
Most SOPs die because they're written once, in too much detail, by someone who already knows the job. AI can pull a workable draft out of a 20-minute screen recording or a Slack thread — but you have to keep it ruthlessly short.
What AI does well here
- Convert a recorded walkthrough into numbered steps
- Spot decision points that need a branch instead of a single path
- Translate jargon into language a new hire actually understands
- Generate a one-page version next to the full reference
What AI cannot do
- Know which steps are load-bearing vs. ceremonial
- Catch the unspoken 'we never do it that way' rules
- Replace shadowing the person who actually does the job
