By the end of this guide, you'll use Claude to draft, update, and improve Standard Operating Procedures in a fraction of the time it currently takes — producing SOPs that are clearer, more usable, and better formatted than what you'd write from scratch under time pressure.

• A Claude account (free at claude.ai — Pro recommended for longer SOPs and Projects feature)
• A process you need to document (or an existing SOP that needs updating)
• Time needed: 15 minutes to learn; 30–60 minutes per SOP after that
• Cost: Free / $20/month for Claude Pro
