Build an SOP by talking it through

Turn the process in your head into a written SOP your crew can follow without you.

The SOP lands in LeanDocs, where the rest of your knowledge lives.

A normal document your team can edit, comment on and improve.

How it works

What Lana uses

  • Your answers during the interview
  • Existing LeanDocs and uploaded notes on the same process
  • Landscape-industry practice for the steps you do not specify
  • Your company's job and service names

What you get back

  • A complete SOP draft in LeanDocs
  • Step-by-step instructions with tools and safety notes
  • A quality checklist at the end
  • A document you can turn into training or scheduled work
1

You name the process

One line is enough to start — the crew, the season, the job.

2

Lana interviews you

It asks the questions a new hire would ask: what happens first, what tools, what goes wrong, what counts as done.

3

It drafts the SOP

Steps, tools, safety notes and quality checks, written in your company's own words rather than generic filler.

4

You edit and save it

The draft becomes a LeanDoc anyone on your team can open, comment on and improve.

What this looks like today

You know how the job should be done. You have explained it forty times, in the truck, at the shop, over the phone at 6:40 in the morning.

Writing it down has been on the list for two years, because sitting down to a blank page is the part nobody has time for.

With LeanScaper AI and Lana

  • The process is written and findable
  • New hires read it before they ride along
  • The standard is the same on every crew
  • The document improves as the crew comments on it

What needs to be true first

  • You need to answer the interview questions — Lana writes from your process, not a template.
  • Review the draft before it becomes the standard your crew is held to.
  • Uploading existing notes or a rough checklist makes the first draft much closer.
  • The SOP is a living document; keep a review date on it.

Write the SOP you have been meaning to write

Pick the process you explain most often. Twenty minutes of questions and you have a document instead of a habit.
