GenAI BR Radar
What to adopt, trial, assess and avoid in AI, every six months, with a page per item and what changed since the last edition.
- First edition in March 2027
- Semi-annual · March and September
- Free, no sign-up.
- 2027
Six months of Cinco condensed into a decision map that fits on one slide — and stands on 130 entries.
- Engineering teams setting the stack for the next six months.
- Consultancies and integrators that need an independent reference to cite.
- Leaders who want one picture, with the evidence behind it.
- The map
- Four rings — adopt, trial, assess, hold — across four quadrants: models, tools, techniques, practices.
- The page per item
- Every dot has a page: what it is, why it sits in that ring, what would move it, and the entries that support it.
- The diff
- What entered, left or changed ring since the previous edition — the most-read part.
- The files
- PDF to print, PNG of the map for your deck, CSV with every item and ring.
- 1Harvest
Every entry of the half-year becomes a candidate. Nothing enters the Radar without having passed through Cinco.

The four rings
A ring is a recommendation with a horizon, not a value judgment. Anything can change ring; the rule is to say what would change it.
- Adopt
- Enough evidence to use in production today, in the context described on the page.
- Trial
- Worth a pilot with a success criterion defined before starting.
- Assess
- Promising, but without independent reproduction, price or maturity to decide.
- Hold
- Cost, risk or contrary evidence make adoption a likely mistake in the next six months.
The Radar organizes models, tools, techniques and practices into four rings — adopt, trial, assess, hold — and records what entered, left or changed rings since the previous edition. It is the artifact designed to be embedded in team and consultancy decks, and the starting point of company briefings.
The first edition comes out in March 2027, built on the Archive's first six months of entries. There is no Radar without Cinco: every dot on the map is an entry that has already been read, checked and dated.
- Is it like the Thoughtworks Radar?
- The ring format is a declared homage. The difference is the ballast: every dot links to sourced entries, and the diff is public.
- Can companies sponsor it?
- They can sponsor printing and distribution. They cannot move a dot between rings — and that goes on the cover.
