Nothing is written until you approve the plan. 01 Plan first ## You see the plan and the estimate before anything is written. Fill in the organisation, who the document is for, anything to follow and the files to draw on. nerix writes a plan: what the document is for, how it is worded, the chapters and appendices, and the estimate in credits. It is an estimate, not a price. Approve and start writing, or change the plan. While it writes, the page shows the stage, such as writing chapters 4 to 9 of 24, how many parts are done and the credits used. You can close the page, and Stop writing ends it. [Shorter documents, offers and letters: see the Sheet.](https://nerix.ai/product/sheet) - Plan The chapters, appendices, terms and words to avoid. - Estimate In credits, before it starts. - Progress The stage, the parts done and the credits used.

Quality handbook, employee handbook, information security policies, operations manual, tender response and business plan. Also a procedure, work instruction, protocol, policy, risk assessment, job description or minutes, and an annual plan, training plan, improvement plan or business review report. The chapters share one glossary, one set of role names and numbers, and link to each other. A procedure or a handbook also files its forms and registers as separate files, connected to it.

Each kind comes with the figure it needs: a flow chart, a roles table, a risk map, an org chart, a timeline, a training matrix or a cycle. Charts come as columns, bars, lines, pies, scatter, waterfall, radar and heat maps, and diagrams as flow charts, decision trees, swimlanes, Gantt charts and more. Figures are checked before you see them. If one cannot be drawn, nerix asks the writer once to fix it, and if it still fails the document shows its numbers or steps as a table with a note saying why. Sections can point at figures, and anything left unsettled is listed under Things to check. - Charts Column, bar, line, area, pie, doughnut, scatter, radar, waterfall and heat map. - Diagrams Flow charts, decision trees, swimlanes, org charts, timelines, Gantt charts, cycles and risk maps. - Checked A figure that cannot be drawn becomes a table with a note. - Things to check Whatever was left unsettled, listed when you open the finished document. 04 Against a standard ## Write against the requirements you must meet. Align with picks the standards to write against. A quality handbook starts with ISO 9001, which you can remove. Each section is written to pass those requirements' checks, the requirements it covers are linked on the file, and the cross reference appendix is built from them. The finished document is filed in your library as a draft with its type and area, connected to the files it was built from. A draft counts as evidence in a check only after a person approves it. - Align with Pick the standards. The cross reference appendix is built from them. - Filed as a draft In your library, connected to its sources, until a person approves it. 05 Questions ## Questions How long can a long document be? + A sample quality handbook is about 20,000 words with appendices, forms and checklists.
