Even the most sophisticated systems fail when they lack proper documentation & SOPs
Here's some stuff we realized was happening before we implemented them:
❌ Teams & even clients waste hours figuring out "how things work" and time wasted on training, messaging & calls
❌ Founders remain trapped as the "answer person" for every question
❌ Automations fail when people don't follow the right input process
The foundation of every successful system:
1️⃣ Standardized inputs that ensure your tools get the data they need
2️⃣ Clear handoffs that define exactly who does what and when
3️⃣ Decision frameworks that remove confusion
4️⃣ Troubleshooting guides that show you exactly what to do when problems arise
Think about it.
→ Automations need consistent inputs to function
→ AI needs structured data to make good decisions
→ Teams need clear processes to execute consistently
→ You want to have standardized delivery, every time, and things to be consistent at scale
SOPs are just part of the bigger picture, yes, but they're the FOUNDATION everything else depends on!
We've just put together a GPT based on hundreds of successful SOPs we've built for helping scale client ops.
It asks the right questions and generates custom SOPs specifically tailored to your business in minutes.

Coming next: I'll be sharing our complete Notion infrastructure and documentation hub framework for these SOPs.
