Automation diagnostics for Singapore SMEs
The same work repeats every week in your business.
Automation diagnostics for Singapore SMEs. We find the one workflow worth automating and prove the hard part on your real files before you build.
One sentence is enough. We send back the diagnostic questions.
The One-Workflow Diagnostic
Find the one workflow worth proving before you build.
The One-Workflow Diagnostic maps repeated work, ranks value, effort and risk, then tests the hard part on real files.
Rank value, effort and risk
Prove the hard part
Where judgement matters
Some work may be better left human.
Not every repeated task should become a system. Some work also catches errors, carries judgement or keeps a client relationship warm.
The One-Workflow Diagnostic scores that risk alongside value and effort. It shows which parts are worth proving and which parts may be better left human.
What we automate
Six workflow shapes. One decision rule.
Content, design and AEC, internal apps, handovers, reporting. We stay broad. The rule never changes: repeated work, clear inputs, review gates, and a payback we can point to.
Owner decisions stop disappearing in chat.
OwnerTeamClient
Approvals, reminders, and handovers become a visible operating flow.
Messy inputs become a clean review list.
InvoicesRulesCheckMismatchesApprovals
Owners stop eyeballing every line. Only mismatches need a human.
Exceptions surface before the weekly meeting.

A weekly routine becomes a one-click browser tool.
Drawings and decks become schedules and BOQs.

Proof-first loop
We prove it on your files before you pay for the build.
Proof is the decision gate. We run the hard part of the workflow on real samples first, so the full build is a known quantity, not a bet.

Proof from a live AEC workflow
One document workflow. Two structured outputs.
This example comes from wayfinding. The same build pattern applies wherever an SME reconciles repeated information across documents: define the rules, test them on real files, then generate outputs people can verify.

About Praeco Labs
Investors and operators first.
Automation diagnostics for Singapore SMEs. We find the one workflow worth automating and prove the hard part on your real files before you build.
We run from a Singapore investment and operator desk. Every recommendation is treated as a capital allocation decision: understand the repeated work, test the hard part, then decide what is worth building.
Praeco was the herald of the Roman forum. We took the name because our job is to cut through noise and say plainly what is worth doing.

Send one workflow.
Describe the workflow in one sentence. We will send back four questions to understand where it starts, who touches it, where it breaks and what a useful output looks like.
If it looks suitable, the next step is The One-Workflow Diagnostic.
