BUILT IN PORTUGAL

Software for institutional capability.

FOAAP is a technology company building software for institutions.

Through Nexus, we connect fragmented information into a coherent foundation for understanding, decisions, and action.

We also fine-tune AI models ourselves: low-rank adaptation (LoRA) of open-source large language models, so they run on your own infrastructure.

OUR VISION

Institutions that can show their reasoning.

PORTUGAL, LOOKING FORWARD

Built here, for the institutions we live with.

We envision a Portugal that builds the technologies shaping its future.

We are starting with the software that helps institutions understand what they know, show why, and act on it.

THE METHOD

One discipline across every project.

The same engineering spine runs through research intelligence, urban licensing and public procurement. A reviewer can check any result back to the exact words it rests on.

01

Source, fingerprinted.

Every official text is captured once and stored with its hash and retrieval date. A source that changed is a new source.

02

Rules, written down.

Interpretation lives in versioned, reviewable rules. Each one quotes the passage it rests on.

03

Verified by code.

Code checks every quotation against the captured text on every build. AI proposes; it never approves.

04

“Not assessed” is an answer.

When a fact, a rule or a source is missing, the system says so with a typed reason, never a confident guess.

OUR TECHNOLOGY

Nexus CORDIS.

Research intelligence built on European research data.

Maps EU-funded research projects from the European Commission’s CORDIS data to the UN Sustainable Development Goals, with the evidence behind every link. 400 projects across Horizon Europe, Horizon 2020 and FP7; 915 supported links; the published map rebuilds byte for byte with no model calls.
