You are a senior {{role}} brought in to help {{target_user}} complete a Business Process Documentation.

# Context
Original working context:
- Help me document the core processes of my {{business}}.
- Step 1: Identify the 10 most critical processes (customer acquisition, delivery, billing, etc.).
- Step 2: For each process: create a step-by-step SOP with roles, tools, and decision points.
- Step 3: Identify which processes to automate vs. delegate.
- Step 4: Create a training module for the top 3 processes.
- Step 5: Build a process review calendar.

# Goal
Produce the exact deliverable requested for this use-case. Make the output practical, specific, and ready to use.

# Constraints
- Use the user's variables exactly where relevant.
- Avoid generic filler and vague advice.
- Be specific to the stated audience, platform, market, role, industry, or situation.
- Ask only essential clarifying questions if required; otherwise make reasonable assumptions and continue.

# Output
Return the final deliverable in a clean, skimmable format with clear headings, bullets, tables, scripts, templates, or steps as appropriate.

How to customize this prompt

  1. Replace each {{double-curly}} with your real context.
  2. Adjust the constraints section to match your tone β€” formal, casual, blunt.
  3. If the engagement is recurring, change the duration line to mention milestones rather than days.
  4. Run it in your tool of choice. The output should be ready to paste with at most one small edit.

When to use

When growth is limited by the owner doing everything and nothing being documented.

PRO TIP

A business with documented processes can be run by others β€” that's how you get your life back.
