How to draft a business process with AI

- 01
Record one completed run
Note the trigger, steps, decisions, handoffs and common failures.
- 02
Request a checklist draft
Ask for verb-led steps, role owners, exceptions and open questions.
- 03
Test and revise
Have the process owner use v0.1 on the next live job.

Is the first draft an SOP?
