What you'll get

  1. A 30-minute recorded walkthrough or written summary of your 10+ core processes (e.g., customer onboarding, invoicing, quality control, hiring, inventory management), current role titles and responsibilities, any existing documents or spreadsheets, and your top 5–8 KPIs you track or want to track.

  2. Interviews you or your team lead to clarify each process, maps decision trees and handoff points, drafts each of the 10+ SOPs with numbered steps and screenshots/diagrams where helpful, creates a role responsibility matrix showing who owns what, builds a KPI dashboard template in Google Sheets with sample metrics and formulas, writes a training guide for new staff, and produces an onboarding checklist tied to the playbook.

  3. One Word document or Google Doc (50+ pages) containing the full playbook, ten or more separate SOP documents (PDF or Google Docs), a role responsibility matrix (Excel or Sheets), a KPI dashboard template (Google Sheets or Excel), a training materials folder (PDF guides and checklists), and an editable onboarding checklist.

  4. Your payment is held in escrow and released only when you confirm the playbook is complete, accurate, and ready to hand to your team—no payment moves until you approve the final 50-page document.

Common use cases

PE roll-up integrating multiple acquisitions

A PE-backed roll-up of 5 home-services companies needs a unified ops playbook so every brand runs to the same KPIs, role matrices, and training standards.

Founder building to sell

A founder targeting an exit in 24 months needs a full ops playbook so the business is provably independent of her — a key buyer-diligence item.

Franchisor codifying the system

An emerging franchisor needs a complete playbook documenting every core process, KPI, and training program before opening franchise sales.

Multi-location restaurant owner standardizing kitchen and front-of-house operations

You manage three restaurants with inconsistent prep procedures, staffing rules, and cash-handling. The playbook documents your food safety steps, shift handoff protocols, inventory counts, and complaint resolution, so every location follows the same standard and new managers can train their teams without calling you daily.

SaaS startup scaling from 8 to 20 employees

Your team has grown organically and people are reinventing processes. You need a single source of truth for how customer onboarding, billing, support escalation, and code review work so that new hires don't duplicate effort and quality stays consistent as you double your headcount.

Service business preparing for a management buyout

Your operations are in your head and your key technicians' habits. The playbook codifies scheduling, client handoff, quality checks, and profit metrics so the incoming management team can run the business independently and investors can see repeatable, documented processes.

Frequently asked questions

Do you document processes that are still ad-hoc or messy, or do I need to clean them up first?

Bring them as-is. The student's job is to interview you, identify the actual steps and pain points, and turn them into clear, numbered SOPs—even if your current process is rough, the final playbook will be polished and ready to teach others.

What if my processes involve tools or software I use—like Shopify, HubSpot, or a custom database?

The student can document the steps within those tools and include screenshots, but they won't implement or configure the software itself. If your SOP includes 'export data from HubSpot and upload to Google Sheets,' they'll explain that workflow, but software setup is out of scope.

Can I request revisions if the SOPs don't match exactly what my team does?

Yes, the student will incorporate feedback during the 30-day project window to correct inaccuracies or missing steps. Major process redesigns (e.g., 'let's eliminate three steps and redo it') are out of scope, but clarifications and adjustments to match your actual workflow are included.

Will the KPI dashboard template have formulas built in, or just column headers?

The template will include sample KPIs with working formulas (e.g., revenue per customer, on-time delivery rate, cost per hire) that you can modify and plug your own data into—not just blank headers.

What format should I expect the 50-page playbook in, and can I edit it after delivery?

It will be delivered as an editable Google Doc or Word file, so you can tweak language, add your company logo, or adjust terminology to match your exact terms. All supporting SOPs and templates will be similarly editable.
