SME proposal · GetSGPR transformation
Make the file ready for review.
GetSGPR · a secure casework transformation hypothesis. The outcome is a complete, source-linked file a consultant can review, with reliable follow-up and human judgment.
The operating loop
- 01Public enquiryFactual service information
- 02Secure workspaceAuthorised uploads and case ID
- 03CaseworkerChecklist, sources and reviewed briefing
- 04ConsultantPersonalised advice and submission decisions
Start with the smaller workflow unless a whole-cost transformation case is evidenced.
Establish the operating bottleneck
GetSGPR publicly offers immigration consultancy and a consultation journey. Its document handling requires controlled channels. Verify current CRM, scheduling, case workspace, permissions, rework and file volume. A public enquiry bot alone does not justify a large transformation.

| Baseline | Question |
|---|---|
| Case readiness | How many files reach review incomplete, duplicated or with inconsistent versions? |
| Active labour | How much time goes to retrieval, document chase, reconciliation and correction? |
| Throughput constraint | Is there actual unmet paid demand or avoided outsourcing, rather than only hypothetical capacity? |
| Security / access | Who may see which document, and which external processors receive it? |
A secure operating chain
| Estate component | Selected role | Boundary |
|---|---|---|
| WhatsApp / Launch or current site | Service facts and secure intake invitation | No public identity-document intake or personalised eligibility verdict. |
| CRM / secure case records | Case owner, status and required next action | One authoritative case ID; access scoped by role. |
| Jarvis / optional Synaptic capability | Checklist/discrepancy draft and consultant briefing | Critical extracted fields cite source/version; human review before client advice. |
| GRC / Academy | Access/retention/processing register, competency drills | Governance evidence and training are not certification or grant approval. |
| Analytics / reporting | Complete-file throughput, rework and accepted review | No claim of improved ICA approval probability. |

Three scope decisions
Retain the current portal and records. Add one internal source-linked drafting/checklist tool plus bounded enquiry handover. This is the recommended first economic test when the larger bottleneck is unproven.
Integrate CRM, consultation, secure upload, case checklist and review status where manual reconstruction is verified. Standardise fields, roles, version control and accountable next actions. Choose the activity based on the genuine business transformation; price alone does not establish “large-scale”.
Expand migration, integrations, access controls, evidence-linked AI and operating reporting only when actual workload and realised benefit justify it. The earlier S$60,000 scope is retained below as a stress test, not the default recommendation.
The omitted costs change the decision
| Planning whole-cost line | Amount | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Original transformation implementation | S$60,000 | Illustrative; scope/quote not validated. |
| Panel audit allowance | S$3,000 | Planning placeholder; real auditor quote required. |
| Annual software / support / usage | S$9,600 / S$3,600 / S$2,400 | New planning allowances; each needs actual quote. |
| First-year all-in budget | S$78,600 | Before GST/financing and contingency. |
| Two-year all-in budget | S$94,200 | One-off S$63,000 + two × S$15,600. |
| Conditional grant model | S$30,000 | Only if S$60,000 implementation accepted at 50%; other lines excluded. |
The old 60-hours/month × S$35 calculation gives S$25,200 annual capacity, not established cash benefit. Even if fully monetised, the full project requires S$47,100 annual benefit to break even over 24 months without funding, or S$32,100 with the conditional S$30,000 grant. Both exceed the original capacity case.
Planning assumptions in S$. Edit them to test the business case. Benefit means avoided expenditure plus incremental contribution, after new client-side supervision/rework costs. Capacity is reported separately.
How the calculation works
Cost = one-off cost + annual cost × horizon. Benefit = annual benefit × horizon. Grant = selected rate × assessed basis, limited by the activity ceiling where stated and never more than project cost. Horizon surplus = benefit − cost + conditional grant.
Steady-state payback = one-off cost ÷ monthly recurring surplus, without the grant. This compares operating value; it is not a cash-flow schedule for annual prepayment. The SME must finance the full first-year cost until any reimbursement. Payback excludes application/delivery delays, tax and financing. GST and any unpriced costs must be added to the real budget. No approved cost basis or award is established by this calculator.
When transformation is supportable
The activity requires measurable growth/efficiency, strengthened core operations and integration/standardisation across systems. An isolated document summariser does not establish those conditions. Prepare actual scope/quotes, last-year financials, three-year projections and the required one-year job projection. Zero new jobs is an honest forecast when appropriate.

No ten-week assessment promise is stated for this activity. Confirm cost allocation, cap treatment and auditor timing before quoting support. Never combine EIS on the subsidised portion or claim the same costs twice.
Acceptance protects the advice boundary
- Every critical extracted field links to the correct document/version; omissions, conflicts and uncertainty are visible to the consultant.
- Role tests demonstrate no cross-case/tenant access, and logging/export/retention follow agreed purposes.
- No unreviewed substantive AI output reaches the client; consultant approves personalised advice and submissions.
- Staff can produce an accepted complete file without reconstructing missing information across systems.
- Net case administration and rework improve against a matched baseline; realised benefit and ongoing cost are reviewed before expansion.
No guarantee of PR eligibility, ICA approval or faster governmental processing is part of this proposal.
