Rigorous
Every number is tested on data the model has not seen. We say what worked and what did not.
About us
A technology company born at USP.
Spotlight began as a research group of PhD and master's students at the University of São Paulo. Today it is a public affairs company with its own technology, focused on Brazil and Latin America.
Origin
From academic research to the market.
The group started at USP studying, with public data, how legislators and parties vote. That research produced the models and the platform that support Spotlight's services today.
We still work like researchers: we test each model on data it has not seen and we publish the results, including the ones that did not work.
The symbol
Two sets. The intersection, lit.
Each square is a group: a party, a government, a sector, an interest. Where they overlap are those who decide together, and that is where a majority is born. Our job is to make that intersection visible before the decision.
Principles
How we work.
Transparent
The method is in plain sight. Every forecast shows its source, uncertainty range and date.
Discreet
Client confidentiality comes before any showcase.
Independent
No partisan side. Government and opposition read with the same yardstick, in any country.
Team
Team.
USP researchers and professionals with experience in institutional and government relations.
