Built by people tired of watching bad decisions get made confidently
Praleno started in 2018 with a simple observation: most business decisions in South Africa aren’t sunk by bad ideas, they’re sunk by decision-makers working off numbers nobody had actually checked.
Claims we’re happy to back up
We work on your problem, not our template.
No two engagement scopes look the same at Praleno — the supplier framework we built for a manufacturer looks nothing like the cash forecast model we built for a retail chain the same month.
We stay small on purpose.
Every client works directly with the consultant who did the work, not a junior reading from someone else’s notes. That’s why our team page has four names on it, not forty.
We hand over everything, always.
Models, work papers, scoring logic — it’s all yours at the end of the engagement, built so your own team can run it without calling us back.
Clear numbers beat confident guessing, every time.
