Do you actually need SOP software?

Six questions about one process, the way it actually runs today, not the way it's supposed to. Ninety seconds. No email, no signup. The honest answer is sometimes no, and we'll tell you what to do instead if that's yours.

Question 1 of 6

How many people currently run this process?

Whoever touches it in a normal week, not just who's assigned to it.

What this actually checks

SOP software solves a coordination problem: multiple people doing the same thing differently, on a process that keeps changing, with real cost when the one person who knows it is unavailable. If none of that describes your process, a tool won't fix anything a shared doc and a habit can't. This check scores exactly those signals, nothing else. It doesn't ask about budget, team size in general, or how “serious” you are about ops. Small, stable teams running one process the same way every time should score low, and that's correct.

FAQ

Six questions about team size, process consistency, where documentation lives today, how often the underlying tool changes, what happens when the process owner is out, and new-hire ramp time. Each answer scores 0 to 3 based on how much coordination risk it signals. The total sorts you into one of three honest outcomes, including a genuine no.

Because a quiz that always says yes is worthless to the person taking it and gets ignored by anyone who shares it. If you're three people in one room doing the same thing the same way, software is a login you don't need yet. Telling you that is what makes the yes credible when it actually applies.

No. The result shows immediately after the last question. Nothing is collected, nothing is sent anywhere.

That's normal and it's the point. Most teams have one or two high-risk processes and several low-risk ones. Take the quiz once per process you're unsure about. The processes that score high are your priority list, not your whole operation at once.
