The Epical system

A system, not a tool.

Four layers we run ourselves: multi-platform extraction, proprietary AI trained on LATAM, senior analyst interpretation and the final decision. You get the conclusion ready to use—nothing to license, nothing to operate.

How it operates

Four layers. One single system.

Observe, protect, understand and anticipate. A senior team runs each layer, and it all ends in one thing: a recommendation for your table.

The digital conversation

73,402mentions / day

Everything being said about your brand and your category across social, media and communities—in the real slang of each country.

01 · Observe

Social intelligence

2,140relevant

We filter out the noise and leave you only what matters: which topics are growing, what people complain about, where the opportunity is. Read in each country's codes, not by an automatic translator.

Run by senior analysts
02 · Protect

Reputational intelligence

412actors

We catch adversarial narratives and who's pushing them in time, before they escalate. And if you need to respond, the play is ready. When execution is required, with Alurralde, Jasper & Asociados.

Run by senior analysts
03 · Understand

Consumer intelligence

6findings

The why behind the number: what motivates, what creates tension and which cultural codes move your audience. Not just what happened, but why—so you know what to do.

04 · Anticipate

Synthesis to decide

1recommendation

We bring the three layers together into a recommendation ready for your table: what's happening, what could happen and what to do about it. A decision, not another dashboard.

Reallocation of the annual plan toward territories with low presence but high affinity. Decided by the regional C-level.
Who runs it

Judgment comes from people.
Tools only amplify.

The four layers aren't a dashboard you log into: they're run by a senior team that has already worked through thousands of conversations. Meet the team on the Team page.

About our internal tools

Each layer is backed by tools that the Epical team builds and maintains as amplifiers of its work: regional classification models, narrative pattern detectors, synthesis modules. We don't sell them as a product or expose them as an API to clients. They're part of the team's internal craft—the same logic by which an investment fund keeps its own valuation model.

When execution is required

If, beyond the analysis, you need execution, containment protocols, engagement with specialized media or dealings with government actors, we operate in partnership with Alurralde, Jasper & Asociados, one of the region's most respected firms in reputation and public affairs.

What makes us different

Not a platform. Not an agency.
Both at once, and done better.

Global tools give you volume without context. Local agencies give you context without scale. Epical does both at once: volume, regional context and senior judgment.

How clients buy us

In Marketing and Insights they buy us as the best Social Intelligence in LATAM. In Strategy and the C-level they buy us as the interpretation layer that decisions are made on. Both are true.

Regional network

LATAM can't be read from the outside.

Every market has its own language, its political context and its actors. Here it's read by senior analysts who know the terrain, with models trained on each region's conversation.

How we work

From your question to a decision:
in weeks, not months.

We adapt to what you need: a one-off analysis, a project with milestones, or a continuous operation.

01
Phase 1

Executive diagnosis

A session with the C-level to define the strategic questions that matter and agree on scope.

02
Phase 2

Setup

A dedicated team. Configuration of sources, countries and models for the project.

03
Phase 3

First deliverable

A first read: a map of the conversation, the dominant narratives, prioritized opportunities.

04
Phase 4 onward

Per the agreed format

A one-off study with a final presentation, a project with milestones, or a continuous operation with alerts and agreed response times.

Team

Strategic lead, senior analyst, data scientist and industry specialist.

Formats

One-off study · project with milestones · continuous contract with monthly follow-up.

Response times

The cadence is agreed per format. In continuous operation: 24h for a critical alert, 72h for a one-off request.

For which teams

Our studies serve Marketing, Consumer Insights, Strategy, Communications, Public Affairs and Customer Care, among others. In every case, for C-level decisions.
