Case Files
Six real deals. In every file: the situation, your call, what a typical AI advises, and what actually happened. And in every single one, Flavio on camera, telling the real story.
Prefer the machinery? No narratives on the Method page: real code, real logs, errors on both sides.
THE CASE FILES IN BRIEF
Six real negotiations. In each file: the situation, the call I made, what a typical AI advises, and what actually happened.
01 The Foxconn Deal · an international bidding process won as the smallest company in the race · a ten year lease with Foxconn, Apple's electronics assembler in Brazil, that turned an empty 40,000 m² facility into an asset later sold for R$84M
02 Raising the Valuation · a white label request the founders hated · the contract with Latin America's largest digital marketplace, about 30% of revenue, renewed through a pre-merger transition
03 The Opposite of the Mandate · a global expansion mandate challenged with data · the network cut from 146 stores to 100 before growing toward 181, executed over two and a half years without a single lawsuit
04 Sparring the Visionary · saying no to the investor who signs the cheques · mass retail dropped for direct enterprise outreach, and an R$15M pipeline built in seven months against a twelve month target
05 The 200 Cubed Project · a global store standard that was keeping the brand out of the market · a model of two hundred tires a month in two hundred square meters, later replicated nationwide
06 The Walk Away · funding that did not close and a pandemic that did · capital preserved, and the company I co-founded left in March 2020
In every file, the real decision, on camera.
Let's talk
If you're building or scaling AI and need someone who can carry it into real commercial conversations, as a hire or an advisor, I'd like to talk.
