Positioning

L.I.N.D.A. is not an academic laboratory. It is  living lab with operational authority over an entire public school network  a combination that research centres with far larger budgets do not have.

Curitiba's municipal network ranked first among Brazilian state capitals in IDEB 2025 for primary grades (6.9, with the highest SAEB score among capitals at 6.91), and over 55% of its students attend full-time schooling, against a national average of 22.9%.

This creates an unusual research question: what does artificial intelligence add once the easy gains have already been captured? With promotion rates near 99%, every further gain must come from proficiency and from within-network equity rather than from student flow. There is very little published evidence on educational AI operating under this ceiling effect — which is where L.I.N.D.A.'s original contribution lies.
