The problem

Every day, 5,570 Brazilian municipalities publish their acts in official gazettes: billion-dollar contracts, procurement waivers, political appointments. The content is public by law. But illegible in practice: long PDFs, no search, no alerts. Contract fragmentation, phantom suppliers and abusive amendments go unnoticed for years. Fiscal Digital reads these documents for you. Identifies risk patterns with explicit legal criteria. Publishes verifiable alerts with sources always cited.

Per Diem Fiscal Agent

Detects per diem allowances above the reference threshold and trips whose dates coincide with national holidays or weekends.

How it works

From gazette publication to alert — in under 24 hours

  1. 1

    Collect

    Querido Diário retrieves the official municipal gazettes published that day.

    Official gazettes publish municipal acts every business day — that is where public spending becomes law. No one reads it all.

  2. 2

    Extract

    An AI model identifies company IDs (CNPJ), amounts, contract names, and the department involved.

    Turning a PDF into structured data is what makes cross-referencing at scale possible.

  3. 3

    Analyze

    10 Fiscal Agents apply legal rules — for example, an amendment above 25% violates Art. 125 of Law 14.133.

    Each Agent watches a specific legal boundary, with documented criteria and explicit legal basis.

  4. 4

    Alert

    Findings with risk ≥ 60 and confidence ≥ 0.70 become public cards linked to the original gazette.

    The thresholds ensure only findings with solid evidence are published — minimizing false positives.

Geographic Coverage

50 municipalities monitored in real time. Official gazettes processed every day via Querido Diário. Alerts published as soon as risk patterns are detected.

Standing on the shoulders of giants

Fiscal Digital extends — not competes with — the foundational Brazilian civic innovation projects. Every finding we publish links back to the original data on Querido Diário. We never replicate.

Fiscal Digital was built on top of these two projects. We extend the Brazilian civic innovation ecosystem to the municipal level — using Querido Diário's data with the Serenata method.
