Criterio brings the right opportunities into view.

Criterio watches the places where work appears, gathers the facts, and prepares a short pursuit brief for human review.

See source plan

Criterio finds the work before it reaches the proposal queue. Sources, buyer, budget, deadline, fit, risk, missing information, and why it surfaced.

How Criterio works

Criterio starts by understanding how a studio makes decisions. Then it tracks scattered opportunity sources, evaluates each one against the studio's criteria, and explains whether it is worth pursuing, watching, or skipping.

  1. 01
    Learns the studio's criteria

    Through a guided onboarding, Criterio captures what the studio wants more of, what it avoids, where it can work, what scale makes sense, how much proposal capacity it has, and which opportunities should be automatically ignored.

    • Target typologies
    • Active and open geographies
    • Minimum project scale
    • Competition policy
    • Submission lead time
    • Capacity for proposals
    • Hard filters
    • Strategic trade-offs
  2. 02
    Tracks opportunity sources

    Criterio is designed to monitor formal opportunities and early signals across tenders, RFPs, competitions, awards, grants, open calls, planning activity, procurement notices, capital plans, and other sources that may indicate future work.

  3. 03
    Scores fit, not just relevance

    Each opportunity is evaluated against the studio's profile. Criterio looks at typology fit, geography, scale, client quality, deadline pressure, submission burden, strategic value, likely competition, and capacity.

    The goal is not to say "this matches a keyword." The goal is to say whether it deserves attention.

  4. 04
    Explains the recommendation

    Every opportunity receives a clear recommendation: Pursue, Watch, or Skip. Criterio should also explain why, including the trade-offs behind the decision.

Pursue

Strong fit. Worth active attention.

Watch

Relevant signal. Monitor, prepare, or wait for better timing.

Example opportunity

Open competition for a cultural center in Portugal.

Unpaid first stage. Strong jury. High public visibility. Deadline in 18 days.

Watch Recommendation
  • Strong typology fit: cultural and civic work.
  • Good geography fit: Portugal is within the studio's target markets.
  • Weak feasibility: deadline is short and the first stage is unpaid.
  • Suggested action: monitor, but only pursue if the studio has spare proposal capacity or a strong local partner.
