What it does

Manage and update Shaw's standard operating procedures

Best for

Repeatable processes Shaw executes regularly—when you extract the core procedure (not transcribe conversation) and save it as a tight reference checklist.

Inputs
  • · process Shaw describes or repeats
  • · process name and target audience (who executes)
  • · steps, decision points, and edge cases
  • · email/message templates for the process
Outputs
  • · Notion SOP page under correct category
  • · checklist-style steps (short, imperative bullets)
  • · email/message templates separated by --- dividers
  • · links to related Notion pages
Requires
  • · Notion MCP (notion-update-page, notion-search, notion-create-pages)
  • · Notion SOP parent page structure (categories and child pages)
Preconditions
  • · Shaw's SOP library in Notion (ABA Master workspace)
  • · Process is repeatable (not one-time)
  • · SOP category fits under existing structure (Acquisition, Delivery, etc.)
Failure modes
  • · Creating duplicate SOP without searching first → shelf of near-duplicates
  • · Over-engineering template → bloat (Purpose, Scope, Version, etc.)
  • · Missing reference links to related pages → disconnected SOP
  • · Nesting > 2 levels deep → unclear hierarchy
  • · Using Markdown [links] instead of Notion <mention-page> → breaks live references
Trust signals
  • · Format conventions documented (two sections: checklist + templates)
  • · Style rules explicit (short imperative bullets, preserve shorthand like FU/ID, 2-level nesting max)
  • · Search-before-create protocol to avoid duplicates
  • · Notion-specific markup guidance (<mention-page> vs. Markdown links)
