Opportunity Thesis

Build a 'Tax Risk Radar' for Brazilian mid-market companies (R$ 50M-500M revenue) to audit their exposure to STJ/STF tax precedents. Use Jusbrasil APIs to scrape specific themes like ICMS-ST or PIS/COFINS credits. Charge a R$ 5,000 audit fee + 2% of 'risk reduction' identified. Mitigate the 'Custo Brasil' by positioning as a tool for CFOs, not just lawyers, to avoid the protectionist 'Cartório' pushback. MVP: A Python-based risk calculator that maps a company's tax history against the PLDO 2027 risk categories.

Why Now

Brazil is the world capital of tax complexity; R$ 805B is a systemic risk that requires automated auditing.

R$ 805B is too big to ignore. Even capturing 0.01% of this risk-assessment market is a R$ 80M business.

The 2026 tax reform is a moving target. Your logic might be obsolete before the first invoice clears.
