The house's market-intelligence arm: Cinco's method applied to one specific decision of one specific company.
- Product and technology leaders choosing between models, vendors or architectures.
- Legal and risk teams tracking AI regulation in Brazil.
- Funds and boards that need an independent read before a thesis.
- The document
- Ten pages, at most: the question, what the evidence says, what it does not yet say, three scenarios and a recommendation — every claim sourced.
- The conversation
- One hour, live, with the person who read. Hard questions are the point.
- The appendix
- The Archive entries and primary sources used, so your team can carry on alone.
- The update
- Thirty days later, one page: what changed since the briefing.
- 1The question
A thirty-minute call to reach a question that fits in one sentence. If it does not fit, it is two — or it is not a briefing.
- 2The reading
Ten working days. Archive first, then what is missing: papers, documents, prices, conversations with operators.
- 3The delivery
Document, conversation, appendix. No slides.
- 4The record
If the question touches something the house has a relationship with, it goes on page one.

Questions that fit a briefing
Examples of the kind of question — not of clients.
- Cost
- Does moving our inference to an open model served in Brazil cut cost without losing quality on our task?
- Regulation
- What does PL 2338 change for a product that ranks CVs, and when?
- Agents
- Is our support operation ready for an agent that acts — or only for one that reads?
- Evaluation
- How do we know the model we bought is better than six months ago on our case?
Reading two hundred things a week only makes sense if, at some point, someone can ask: and in my case? The briefing is that question, answered with Cinco's method — primary source, result before opinion, explicit caveats — but aimed at one company's decision.
It is deliberately small: ten pages, one hour, ten days. Not transformation consulting, not a two-year roadmap. It is the independent read a team has no time to do before deciding.
- How much does it cost?
- Depends on scope. The proposal comes within 48 hours of the first call, with a fixed price.
- Do you implement?
- No. The briefing ends at the recommendation. For execution with agents there is Ofício, a different product.
- What about confidentiality?
- Standard NDA before the call. A briefing never becomes a Cinco item.
