SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Founders often run critical business processes that exist only in someone's head, making them impossible to delegate, improve, or measure. This Skill turns a fuzzy narrated process into an explicit, linked map of sub-processes with standards, hand-offs, failure points, and candidate metrics. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Process Decomposition: Converts a founder walkthrough into an ordered map of sub-processes, each with actions, standards, scripts, data captured, automations, and hand-offs. - Diagnostic Overlay: Tags non-value-added steps, identifies bottlenecks, queues, and hotspots, and proposes recovery processes and fail-safe (poka-yoke) opportunities. - Metrics & Routing: Computes cycle time, process cycle efficiency, first-pass yield, and defect rates, then routes improvement opportunities to downstream skills like bottleneck-analysis, automation-triage, and sop-writer. - Use Case: A bookkeeping firm maps its new client onboarding process, discovers that unverified documents cause duplicate setup rework, and adds a checklist gate plus automated document-request reminders. ## Quick Start Ask the AI to map out your client onboarding process from signed contract to completed delivery, including where it breaks down and how to measure it.

Frequently Asked Questions about process-mapping

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I document a business process that only exists in someone's head?▼

Narrate the process start to finish, including the trigger and required output. The Skill decomposes it into ordered sub-processes, presents a first-pass map, and iterates with you until the operator confirms it is accurate.

How to find bottlenecks in a business process?▼

Map each step with its timing and hand-offs, then look for queues, backlogs, and the step whose throughput caps the whole process. The Skill flags bottleneck candidates and routes them to bottleneck-analysis for quantification.

What is process cycle efficiency and how is it calculated?▼

Process cycle efficiency is value-added time divided by total cycle time. A PCE above 25% is healthy, 10-25% is a warning, and below 10% means the process is mostly waiting and waste that should be removed first.

When should I use process mapping instead of writing an SOP?▼

Use process mapping first when the process is undocumented or its steps are unclear, since the map is the raw material for an SOP. Once the map is stable, route it to sop-writer to produce a polished operating document for staff.

Can process mapping identify automation opportunities?▼

Yes. Steps that are repetitive, rule-based, high-volume, and low-judgment are tagged as automation candidates and routed to automation-triage. Any automation touching customers or external systems still requires founder approval.

What are the limitations of a first-pass process map?▼

First-pass maps are expected to miss steps, interrelationships, and complexity, so the method requires iteration with the operator. Inferred nodes are marked low-confidence, and metrics remain directional until step timings are actually measured.
