Here is the improved business prompt template:

**Goal:** To ensure a flawless and highly accurate Year-End Stock Take, we require a definitive, easy-to-follow procedure document.

Write a crystal-clear, single-page **Standard Operating Procedure (SOP)** for the **[Staff Type | text]** team specifically tasked with assisting with our Year-End Stock Take. This SOP must eliminate ambiguity and drive immediate compliance.

The procedure must explicitly detail the mandatory actions for the following critical phases:
1. **Counting Protocol:** Define the exact, systematic method for physical counting (e.g., specifying the mandated flow, such as "top to bottom, then left to right within each aisle/section").
2. **Damage Documentation:** Specify the precise steps required to accurately identify, segregate, and record *all* damaged or obsolete items discovered during counting.
3. **Unbarcoded Inventory Resolution:** Outline the non-negotiable process for handling any item encountered that lacks a scannable barcode or clear identification tag.

**Output Constraints:**
* **Length:** Strictly limited to one page (A4/Letter).
* **Language & Tone:** Use universally accessible **Plain English** (Target reading age: 12 years old) to ensure 100% comprehension across all experience levels.
