SOP Registry — the global SOP-ID ledger

Owner: Operations (Process Engineer). Operations is the numbering authority for SOP / runbook IDs across the org (resolves the Documentation F3/F7 flag: there is one global ID space and one home per SOP). Every SOP lives flat in docs/sop/ with a globally unique SOP-NNN ID; nothing under docs/units/**/sops/ (that deviation was normalized on 2026-06-01). Job aids (JA-…) stay with their unit under docs/units/<unit>/job-aids/.

Allocation convention

  • One global ID space. IDs are SOP-NNN, allocated by Operations, never reused.

  • Banded by cluster for legibility (not a hard rule — the ID is the source of truth, the band is a convenience):

    Band Cluster / owner
    001–009 Operations (Process Engineer) — cross-cutting ops/runbooks
    010–014 The Archives (Archivist / Historian)
    015–017 Rules & Governance (Golden Rule)
    018–021 Human Resources
    022–025 Documentation (Documentarian)
    026–029 Finance (Finance Director / Financial Analyst)
    031–034 Legal & Compliance (Legal Director / Compliance Analyst)
    040 Personal Assistant
    041–043 CPTO (Chief Product & Technology Officer)
    044–047 Innovation (Innovation Director / Competitive Intelligence Analyst)
    048–053 Design Research (Director / Instructional Designer / UX Research Associate / UX Designer)
    054–059 Engineering (Engineering Director / Staff Engineer / Platform Engineer)
    060–063 Data & Analytics (Director)
    064–067 AI Systems (AI Systems Director / AI Engineer)
    068–070 Product (Product Manager)
    071–073 COO (Chief Operating Officer)
    074–076 Delivery / PMO (Project Manager)
    077–080 Operations (Process Engineer)
    081–084 Security & Privacy (Security Director / Security Analyst)
    085–087 Quality & Risk (Director)
    088–090 CGEO (Chief Growth & Experience Officer)
    091–094 Growth (Director / Content Strategist / Video Producer)
    095–097 Customer Success (Director / Community Manager)
    098–101 Creative — Brand & Marketing (Creative Director / Brand Strategist / Visual Designer)
  • To allocate a new ID: send Operations the title, owner unit, and one-line purpose; Operations assigns the next free number in the owner’s band and adds the row below. Do not self-assign an ID.

  • Gaps are intentional (e.g. 006–009, 013–014, 030, 035–039, 046–047) — reserved headroom within each band; an unused number is not a missing SOP. PA holds 040 only (the rest of the old 040–049 window was reallocated on 2026-06-01 to open the CPTO-cluster bands above: 041–043 CPTO, 044–047 Innovation, 048–053 Design Research). SOP-046/SOP-047 are reserved Innovation headroom.
