Who We Are

Mission

Bring implicit neuroscience techniques into market, political, and organizational research — capturing what the public truly feels, beyond what they can express in a traditional survey.

What we do

We are a Brazilian startup. We started by applying implicit research to brand and consumption, and expanded our work to media intelligence and research for agencies, electoral research, and mapping psychosocial risks to support NR-1 compliance.

Why Our Approach Is Different

🧠 Beyond self-reported responses

Traditional surveys capture what people can or want to verbalize. Our implicit methods capture automatic reactions — what surfaces before conscious filtering.

✅ Reduces response bias

We measure reaction times in milliseconds. This makes it much harder to mask a response than in a traditional declarative survey.

🔬 Scientific basis

We use methodologies backed by decades of academic research in implicit cognition (such as implicit association tests and the D-score), adapted for marketing, politics, and the workplace.

🔒 LGPD compliance

Anonymization and informed consent in all projects, ensuring security and ethics in data collection.

Our Approach

Innovation in Brazil

We are a startup that combines implicit research and data intelligence in four complementary fronts: brand and consumption, expertise for advertising agencies, political research, and NR-1 compliance.

Turning Data into Action

We translate implicit data into practical recommendations: brand positioning, campaign strategy, or actions to prevent psychosocial risks.
