1. **Process name and purpose** — What this process does and why it matters.
2. **When to use this process** — The trigger or situation that kicks it off.
3. **Prerequisites** — What you need before you start (access, tools, approvals).
4. **Step-by-step procedure** — Numbered steps. Each step should be one clear action. If a step has a decision point ("if X, do Y; if not, do Z"), format it as a decision branch.
5. **Common mistakes** — What goes wrong and how to avoid it.
6. **Troubleshooting** — If something breaks, here's what to check.
