Methodology and claims
What we publish, how we verify it, and what we leave out.
Buyers plan budgets and headcount around what a provider publishes. We would rather show fewer numbers than publish one we cannot support.
Our rules
No invented figures
Cost, timeline and volume figures are only shown when they come from an approved source with an effective date. Otherwise we show the structure and verify your scenario.
Attributed results only
A published result names the delivering company. Group experience is presented as group experience, never as a SIBRA client win.
No borrowed proof
No logos, testimonials or reviews we are not entitled to display.
No placeholder pages
A page exists only when it has unique, useful content. We do not publish 'coming soon' city or service pages to catch search traffic.
Structured data matches the page
Any FAQ, service or organisation markup reflects content that is actually visible to the reader.
Dated guidance
Brazilian employment practice changes. Figures given to you in writing carry the date and basis they were prepared on.
Claims and sources registry
The official references behind our public guidance
Every numeric or legal claim must map to an approved source, a scope and a review date before publication.

Governed performance claims
The four-day payroll start claim, in full
