Two business operations skills. Which one fits your job? Side-by-side below.

The short version

SaaS Business Health Diagnostic

By Dean Peters (PM)

Diagnose your SaaS business health, spot red flags, and prioritize what to fix first.

SOP Writer

By Mohit Agarwal (PM Skills)

Generate formal Standard Operating Procedures with steps, roles, and quality checks.

What each one does

SaaS Business Health Diagnostic

  • Assesses business health across four dimensions: growth & retention, unit economics, capital efficiency, and strategic position
  • Identifies red flags and categorizes them by urgency (critical, high priority, medium priority)
  • Applies stage-specific benchmarks so early-stage businesses aren't judged by scale-stage standards
  • Delivers a comprehensive scorecard with clear, prioritized action items
  • Connects metrics together to reveal systemic issues (e.g., strong growth masking poor unit economics)

SOP Writer

  • Writes structured SOPs with purpose, scope, responsibilities, and step-by-step procedures
  • Includes RACI-style role assignments for each action
  • Adds quality checkpoints and non-conformance handling
  • Formats for compliance standards like ISO 9001, GMP, or regulatory frameworks
  • Produces version-controlled documents ready for review and approval
