Create and edit numbered lists

This section is a sequence of steps. Convert the paragraph into a numbered list under Procedure, ensuring each step is a single clear sentence, use plain verbs at the start, and number them sequentially from one. Include any prerequisite step at the top and mark the final step as Verify completion. I need this for the team playbook by Monday.

Before I hand this to the QA lead, make the numbered procedure easier to follow: break any compound steps into separate numbers, highlight decision points that require a go/no-go, and call out estimated time per step. Point out any step that assumes undocumented knowledge and suggest what to add so a new hire can follow it without help.

I wrote a procedure but when I tested it a colleague skipped a crucial step because it was buried in a sentence. The QA lead expects a numbered list tomorrow and will check completeness. I’m not sure which sentences must be separate steps and which can be combined. Which parts likely need their own numbered line, and how should I rewrite the ambiguous passages so an inexperienced person won’t miss them?

Across several playbooks I keep losing time rewriting procedures because people follow prose, miss steps, and escalate problems to me. That undermines my role and slows onboarding. What single habit, template change, or checklist should I adopt so procedures are consistently written as fail-safe numbered steps the first time?
