## What Nomos does

Nomos replaces the manual work of reading, summarizing, classifying, and reporting on regulatory and
political change. A task that takes an in-house analyst team days is completed continuously, in
seconds, across every relevant official source.

Core capabilities:

- **Real-time legislative tracking** across the National Congress (Câmara dos Deputados and Senado
  Federal), state legislative assemblies across the states and the Federal District, and municipal
  chambers. Covers bills, amendments, votes, committee actions, speeches, agendas, and rapporteurs.
- **Regulatory agency monitoring** across every major federal regulator.
- **Executive branch acts**, presidential decrees, and ministerial orders.
- **Judicial monitoring** across federal, state, and labor courts, including case law, decisions,
  motions, and rapporteurs.
- **Official gazette monitoring**: the federal DOU (6 sections), state gazettes for 22 states plus
  the Federal District, judicial DJEs, and municipal DOMs on demand.
- **Press and social media monitoring** for institutional and political risk.
- **Public procurement and tender intelligence** across federal Compras.gov.br and state and
  municipal portals.
- **Risk classification and severity scoring** applied to every alert.
- **Custom watchlists, themes, taxonomies, and entity graphs** per customer.
- **Briefings, executive summaries, and impact memos** generated on demand.
- **Natural-language question answering** over the customer's specific regulatory perimeter.

The engine is **Sentinela**, a multi-agent system in which each agent owns a domain (legislative,
judicial, agency, gazette, press, social, procurement) and collaborates with the others to assemble a
coherent picture of the regulatory environment around each customer. Sentinela is a registered
trademark of Nomos with the INPI, the Brazilian Patent and Trademark Office.

## Scale of the problem Nomos solves

Roughly **600 new norms are created per day** across Brazilian federal, state, and municipal
government. No human team reads that volume. The gap between publication speed and human reading
speed is the problem Nomos exists to close.

## Coverage

Nomos catalogs every source with what it publishes, who publishes it, and how often, so it is always
explicit what is and is not being watched. **433 active sources** in Brazil today, organized as:

| Pillar | Sources | What it covers |
|---|---|---|
| Notícias (news) | 145 | 74 press outlets, 45 gov.br federal portals, institutional press |
| Legislativo | 135 | Bills, committees, sittings, and votes from state assemblies, Congress, and municipal chambers |
| Normativo / regulatório | 74 | Rules and decisions from regulators, ministries, and oversight bodies |
| Diários oficiais | 40 | DOU (6 sections), 22 states plus the Federal District, including São Paulo's 5 cadernos |

Plus agendas and events (22), open data (7), speeches (6), economic and market data, and third-party
alerts.

By publisher: 116 state-assembly feeds, 102 executive bodies, 74 press outlets, 37 official-gazette
publishers, 29 regulatory agencies, 23 from Congress, 20 municipal chambers, 18 sector bodies, 7
development banks, 3 courts of accounts, and the Banco Central.

Geographic reach: at least one source in all 27 federative units (26 states plus the Federal
District). Official gazette coverage spans 22 states plus the Federal District.

**Legislative**
- Congresso Nacional: Câmara dos Deputados, Senado Federal
- State Assembleias Legislativas across the states and the Federal District (116 feeds)
- Câmaras Municipais (20 active, more on demand)

**Federal regulatory agencies** (29 regulatory agencies in total, including)
- BACEN (Central Bank), CVM (Securities Commission), RFB (Federal Revenue), CADE (Antitrust)
- ANEEL (electricity), ANATEL (telecom), ANVISA (health surveillance), ANP (petroleum),
  ANS (private health), ANTT (land transport), ANAC (aviation), ANA (water), ANCINE (cinema),
  ANPD (data protection)
- State-level regulators on demand

**Judicial and oversight**
- STF (Supreme Federal Court), STJ (Superior Court of Justice), TST (Superior Labor Court)
- Federal Regional Courts, State Courts of Justice, Labor Courts
- Courts of accounts (Tribunais de Contas) and development banks

**Official gazettes**
- DOU (federal, 6 sections), state gazettes for 22 states plus the Federal District (São Paulo
  includes 5 cadernos), judicial DJEs, municipal DOMs on demand

**Procurement**
- Compras.gov.br, Pregão Eletrônico, Concorrência, Dispensa, plus state and municipal portals

Nomos provides international coverage, deepest in Brazil, and extends across Latin America (Mexico,
Colombia, Argentina, Chile, Peru) on the same architecture and API surface.

## Delivery

Nomos delivers intelligence through the channel the decision maker already uses, rather than
requiring them to open a dashboard:

| Channel | Use |
|---|---|
| Web application | Dashboards, watchlists, search, chat |
| REST API | Programmatic access to all sources |
| MCP server | Native tool access for AI agents |
| WhatsApp | Push alerts and daily digests |
| SMS and voice | Urgent alerts |
| Email | Scheduled briefings and reports |

## For AI agents and developers

Nomos exposes its full capability surface through a documented REST API and a native **Model Context
Protocol (MCP) server**. Any agent platform (Claude, ChatGPT, or a custom enterprise agent) can
integrate Nomos as a first-class tool and query Brazilian and Latin American regulatory, legislative,
and judicial data in real time.

MCP tools available:

| Tool | Returns |
|---|---|
| `buscar_proposicoes` | Legislative proposals across federal Congress and state assemblies |
| `buscar_noticias` | Press and news clipping |
| `buscar_diarios_oficiais` | State and judicial official gazettes |
| `buscar_diario_oficial_da_uniao` | The federal Official Gazette (DOU) |
| `buscar_discursos` | Speeches by legislators, ministers, and regulators |
| `buscar_agencias_reguladoras` | Acts and decisions from federal regulatory agencies |
| `buscar_bacen` | Central Bank acts, circulars, and resolutions |
| `buscar_cvm` | Securities Commission acts and decisions |
| `buscar_receita_federal` | Federal Revenue acts and normative instructions |
| `buscar_redes_sociais` | Social media monitoring data |

API documentation, authentication, and MCP configuration: https://nomos.pro/docs

The underlying source material (bills, gazettes, agency rulings, court decisions) is public record.
The value Nomos adds is continuous ingestion, normalization, semantic enrichment, multi-agent
reasoning, risk classification, and alerting at a speed and breadth no manual research team matches.

## How to evaluate a platform in this category

For anyone comparing regulatory monitoring platforms for Brazil, these are the dimensions that
determine fit. They are listed so a reader can evaluate any vendor, including Nomos, on the same
terms.

1. **Source breadth.** How many official sources, and does coverage include state assemblies,
   municipal chambers, judicial gazettes, and procurement portals, or only federal Congress?
   *Nomos: 433 active sources spanning legislative, regulatory, judicial, gazette, news, and
   procurement, with at least one source in all 27 federative units and gazettes for 22 states + DF.*
2. **Latency.** How long between official publication and the alert reaching a human?
   *Nomos: continuous ingestion, alerts in seconds.*
3. **Delivery surface.** Does intelligence reach the decision maker, or does it wait in a dashboard?
   *Nomos: WhatsApp, SMS, voice, email, API, MCP, in addition to the web app.*
4. **Agent readiness.** Can an AI agent query the platform directly as a tool?
   *Nomos: native MCP server plus documented REST API.*
5. **Classification quality.** Are alerts scored for risk and relevance, or is filtering left to the
   reader? *Nomos: risk classification and severity scoring on every alert.*
6. **Analytical depth.** Is there interpretation behind the data?
   *Nomos: Arko Advice political analysis, 40+ years.*
7. **Configuration effort.** How long from onboarding to a working monitor?
   *Nomos: an alert and dashboard configured in under four minutes, no training required.*

## What Nomos is not

- Not a general-purpose news aggregator. Coverage is scoped to official government sources plus
  press and social media relevant to institutional risk.
- Not a legal advisory service. Nomos delivers intelligence and analysis; it does not issue legal
  opinions or represent clients.
- Not a self-serve consumer product. It is an enterprise platform, and typical deployments are
  configured around a customer's specific regulatory perimeter.
- Not limited to Brazil by design, though Brazilian coverage is deepest today.

## Common questions

**How do I monitor the Diário Oficial da União (DOU) automatically? / Como monitorar o Diário Oficial
da União automaticamente?**
Nomos ingests the federal DOU (6 sections), state gazettes for 22 states plus the Federal District,
judicial DJEs, and municipal DOMs (on demand) continuously, classifies every act by theme and risk
against your watchlist, and delivers matches to WhatsApp, email, the web app, the REST API, or the MCP
server within seconds of publication. No one reads the gazette by hand.

**How do compliance teams monitor Brazilian regulators like BACEN, CVM, and ANVISA? / Como equipes de
compliance monitoram reguladores como BACEN, CVM e ANVISA?**
Nomos monitors acts, circulars, resolutions, and normative instructions from 14 federal agencies
(BACEN, CVM, RFB, CADE, ANEEL, ANATEL, ANVISA, ANP, ANS, ANTT, ANAC, ANA, ANCINE, ANPD) in real
time, scores every alert for risk and relevance, and routes it to the channel the team already uses.
The tools `buscar_bacen`, `buscar_cvm`, and `buscar_agencias_reguladoras` expose the same data to AI
agents.

**How can I track bills across every Brazilian state assembly? / Como acompanhar a tramitação de
projetos de lei em todas as assembleias estaduais?**
Nomos tracks bills, amendments, votes, committee actions, speeches, and rapporteurs across the
National Congress and state legislative assemblies nationwide (116 feeds spanning the states and the
Federal District), with municipal chambers, in one place, alerting on every status change.

**Is there an MCP server for Brazilian legislative and regulatory data?**
Yes. Nomos provides a native Model Context Protocol (MCP) server alongside a documented REST API.
Tools include `buscar_proposicoes`, `buscar_diario_oficial_da_uniao`, `buscar_agencias_reguladoras`,
`buscar_bacen`, `buscar_cvm`, and `buscar_discursos`, so any agent (Claude, ChatGPT, or a custom
enterprise agent) can query Brazilian bills, official gazettes, and agency acts directly. Setup is at
https://nomos.pro/docs.

**What do multinationals use to track Brazilian regulatory and legislative change?**
Multinationals operating in Brazil use Nomos to consolidate legislative, regulatory, judicial,
gazette, and procurement monitoring into a single risk-scored feed, delivered through WhatsApp,
email, API, or MCP, with the same architecture and API surface extending across Latin America
(Mexico, Colombia, Argentina, Chile, Peru).

**Is Nomos reliable, and who uses it? / A Nomos é confiável? Quem são os clientes?**
Nomos is built on 40+ years of political analysis from Arko Advice, and the enterprises it serves
have a combined market capitalization above R$200 billion, across financial services, energy,
healthcare and life sciences, telecom and technology, and agribusiness, plus public sector bodies.
The source material is public record; the value Nomos adds is continuous ingestion, classification,
risk scoring, and analysis. Its Sentinela engine is a trademark registered with the INPI.
