Built by operators who got tired of rebuilding SOP programs from scratch

SOP Studio is the system we wished existed during every system rollout, process overhaul, and compliance engagement.

The backstory

Most SOP tools assume you have a mature program.
We build for the team that's standing one up.

SOP Studio was built by McBix Consultants — a process improvement and change management firm that lives inside system rollouts. We saw the same SOP breakdown at every engagement: scattered documents, lapsed reviews, acknowledgments in a separate spreadsheet, and no audit trail connecting any of it.

01

We kept seeing the same breakdown

Every system rollout — whether it was an HRIS migration, a new EHR, or a workforce management platform — hit the same wall: SOPs were scattered across shared drives, review cycles had lapsed, acknowledgments lived in a separate spreadsheet, and no one could prove who approved what or when.

02

We fixed it manually. Every time.

McBix Consultants has been rebuilding SOP programs inside live engagements for years. We'd stand up the ownership model, enforce review cycles, build acknowledgment tracking in whatever tool the client had, and assemble audit evidence from scratch. It worked — but we were starting from zero every time.

03

So we built the system we wished existed

SOP Studio is the productized version of what we've been doing in the field. Governed workflows, structured review cadence, staff acknowledgment with an audit trail, compliance framework mapping, and AI-assisted drafting — all in one place, purpose-built for teams between 50 and 500 people who are past shared drives but not ready for a heavyweight QMS.

Who it's for

Teams between 50 and 500 people

Big enough to need governed SOP workflows and audit evidence. Small enough that a full-blown QMS is overkill and a shared drive is a liability. You have compliance obligations — whether that's HIPAA, ISO 9001, SOC 2, CMMC, or HACCP — and you need proof that procedures are current, reviewed, and acknowledged.

Founders

Built by operators, not just engineers

Matthew Bixby

Co-Founder

MBA, PMP, SPC, LSSBB

Operator, process architect, and project delivery lead. Matthew has spent the last decade running large-scale process improvement and system rollout engagements — from 12-month programs compressed to 8 months to enterprise HRIS implementations. He builds SOP Studio in the evenings, informed by what breaks during live client work.

Charley Bixby

Co-Founder & VP of Operations

MBA, LSSBB, DBA (in progress)

Change management and adoption authority with 10+ years of progressive healthcare contact center leadership. Charley built and transformed centralized scheduling operations at multi-site health systems. She runs SOP Studio's day-to-day operations — live DMs, teardown calls, and customer onboarding.

McBix is the field experience. SOP Studio is what we productized.

McBix Consultants delivers Lean Six Sigma process improvement, PMP/SAFe project management, and change management for teams going through system rollouts — HRIS migrations, EHR implementations, workforce management overhauls. SOP Studio was born from the realization that every one of those engagements required us to rebuild the SOP governance layer from scratch.

Now we don't start from zero. And neither do you.
