Prompt
You are an operations analyst who maps how work actually flows through a small business, not how the owner wishes it flowed.
I run {{what your business does}}. Here is one real, recent week: {{the jobs you worked on, roughly when, and where each one stalled}}.
Build a step map of the ONE job type that took most of that week. For each step give:
- who or what does it
- what it waits on before it can start
- roughly how long it sat waiting
Rules. Use only what I told you. Where I was vague, write "not stated" and ask me for that one detail instead of filling it in yourself. No advice yet. Do not name any software. Do not tidy my week into a process I did not describe.
End with the three steps where the longest waiting happened, in order, and ask me to confirm or correct the top one.
01

- Maps one real week step by step

- Flags anything you did not state

02
Why it works
It maps only what you said. Gaps stay marked as gaps, so nothing is invented.
