Who Chiron was

The company is named after a centaur who taught heroes and stayed on the mountain when they left.

In Greek mythology Chiron is a centaur, half horse and half man, raised apart from the other centaurs. Apollo and Artemis taught him medicine, music, prophecy and archery, and he spent the rest of his life teaching what he had learned.

Achilles, Jason and Asclepius all passed through his cave. The world remembers the three of them for what they did after they left it. Chiron stayed on the mountain, receiving the next student.

That is the part of the myth that matters to a company that trains people: a teacher is measured by what others become able to do on their own. The hero is always the client.

The archery comes from the same place. The arc that gives this site its method, with its four phases, describes the gesture Chiron taught: choose the target, aim, draw the string, and carry the movement through after the arrow is gone.

In Portuguese the name is written Quíron. The brand is written quiron, lowercase and unaccented.

This page sits outside the navigation. You reach it through the panel of targets hidden in the site, at the fifth of twelve, or by chance.

The teacher’s prompt

Take a plan made for you

Chiron did not hand his students answers. He gave them what they needed to find their own, and stayed on the mountain.

This is the modern equivalent. Copy the text below and paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Copilot, whichever tool you use most. You get back a one-page document, ready to print, with the indicator AI would have to move in your case and the path that gets there. No form, no email, nothing asked in return.

You are going to produce a one-page document, ready to print to PDF, for my organisation. Read every instruction before writing anything: one section may require you to ask me questions before you start.

## Who signs the document

quiron is a Portuguese company working in AI consulting, implementation and training. The sentence that defines it: "Equipping people and organisations to get the most out of artificial intelligence, through natural intelligence." The brand signature: "Natural intelligence. Artificial intelligence." The site: quironlabs.pt.

It works through a method called the Arc Method, with four phases:

1. TARGET — which business indicator has to move, chosen and measured before any talk of tools.
2. AIM — where AI belongs, and where the work stays human.
3. DRAW — building and training with the team, inside their real work.
4. FOLLOW-THROUGH — measuring the indicator again and leaving the organisation standing on its own.

It has ten programmes, across three families.

If you have internet access, open https://quironlabs.pt/en/offers before writing anything and use what you find there: that page is the source of truth, it carries the detail of each programme, and it may have changed since this text was written. The list below is the safety net for when you cannot open the page.

DIRECTION, to decide where AI belongs:
- Target Diagnostic. In two to three weeks, the indicators AI has to move are chosen, measured and signed off by the board.
- Council. A quarterly cycle for decision-makers, building their own judgement for reading AI proposals and choosing where to invest.
- Preparing the organisation for the EU AI Act. One day to classify the AI systems in use, identify what has to stop immediately, and leave with a ninety-day plan.

CAPABILITY, to increase what the organisation can do:
- Agent-a-thon. Half a day, and every team leaves with an agent it built for a real problem in its own work.
- Coding with agents. Five sessions in a real repository, after which the team has its own specialist agents and the rules on what stays with people.
- Role by role. Four to six weeks to redesign a team's work, with the team, and leave it running the new process without outside help.
- Bespoke agents. Agents built for one concrete problem, delivered into production and maintained afterwards by the internal team.

COST, to reduce what it costs to do it:
- Nobody left behind. One day for the whole organisation, no paid licences, with three real tasks from each participant already solved by the end of the session.
- Two hours a day. And then? One day to automate routines with the Copilot you already have, and decide which higher-value work the recovered time goes to.
- Token economy. Knowing where tokens are spent, with reports the organisation can read on its own, and cutting consumption while keeping the usage.

## What I give you

If I have pasted a description of my organisation after this text, use it and carry on.

If I have not, stop here. Do not produce the document and do not invent an example organisation to show me what it would look like. Ask me these four questions all at once, as a short list, and wait for my answer:

1. What sector does your organisation work in, and what does it do?
2. How many of you are there, and which team would move first?
3. What have you already tried with artificial intelligence, and what went well or badly?
4. What would you like to be different six months from now, and how would you know it had changed?

If my answer is vague, you get one single round of follow-up, three questions at most. After that, produce the document with what you have.

## What you have to produce

A single self-contained HTML file, laid out for A4 portrait, that I can open in a browser and print to PDF. One page only. In this order, with the word budgets given, which exist so that everything fits:

1. Header. The word "quiron" in lowercase, and below it, in small type, the brand signature.
2. "What I understood". Three short sentences giving my own situation back to me, with the numbers I gave you. Forty words in total. If I gave you no numbers, invent none.
3. "The first indicator". A box with the business indicator AI would have to move in my case, set prominently, and below it two lines on how it would be measured today. Fifty-five words in total.
4. "The path". Three of the ten programmes, chosen for me and put in order, one per family wherever that makes sense. Present them as three boxes side by side, numbered 1, 2 and 3. In each box: the family name as an overline, the exact programme name, one line on why that one and not another in my case, and one line on what I am left holding. Twenty words maximum per line.
5. "The four phases, applied". The arc drawing, exactly as given below, at full width. Underneath it, four lines, one per phase, each written about my case and sixteen words at most.
6. "By the end, the organisation can". Three sentences, each starting with a verb and fourteen words at most, each preceded by the target mark given below.
7. Footer. quironlabs.pt on the left and hello@quironlabs.pt on the right, separated from the body by a rule.

## How it has to look

- One single file. All CSS in a <style> inside the <head>. The file must not make a single request to the internet: no <link> for fonts, no @import, no external images, no CDN. One <link> to Google Fonts is enough for the address to end up printed at the top of the page in some programs, and the document is ruined.
- Native fonts, exactly these two families:
- Headings, programme names and the word "quiron": Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif, weight 600.
- Everything else: system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif.
- Section overlines are that sans in uppercase, weight 600, 8.5pt, with 0.12em letter-spacing, in the heading colour.
- Colours, and no others: background #FBFBFC, body text #3E4954, headings #152331, rules #E4E8EB, box interiors #FFFFFF, accent #058F9E. The accent appears in the three authorised drawings and, in the text, at most twice.
- @page { size: A4; margin: 0 }. A .page element with width: 210mm, min-height: 297mm, 16mm of padding, and display: flex; flex-direction: column.
- It is min-height and never height. Do not set width or height on html or body, and do not put overflow: hidden on anything containing text. A fixed-height box with hidden overflow cuts the document without warning, and I never find out what I lost.
- The rings are the only exception: put them inside their own <div> with position: absolute, inset: 0, overflow: hidden and z-index: 0, so they bleed without pushing anything.
- The footer is the last child of .page and rises with margin-top: auto. Never position: absolute: an absolute footer ends up printed on top of the text when the content grows.
- The three programme boxes sit in a grid of equal columns: display: grid; grid-template-columns: repeat(3, 1fr); gap: 4mm. Never fixed widths in millimetres, which is what cuts the third box in half.
- The four phase lines are a vertical list, one per line, with the phase name in front. Never four columns: they do not fit and the text ends up on top of the next section.
- Put page-break-inside: avoid on each box and on the arc block.
- If, once written, it still does not fit, cut words from the descriptions. If it still does not fit, let it run onto a second page: a clean second page beats a first page with the text cut off.
- Add @media print { html, body { print-color-adjust: exact; -webkit-print-color-adjust: exact; } }, or the teal and the rings vanish when printed.
- Boxes: interior #FFFFFF, 1px border in #E4E8EB, 8px border radius, 5mm padding. No shadow, no coloured fill, no striped rows.
- Body text at 10pt with 1.5 line height. Overlines at 8.5pt. The word "quiron" at 26pt. Programme names at 12pt.
- 6mm between sections, and a 1px rule where a separation is needed.

## The three drawings

These are the only graphic elements allowed. Copy the SVG exactly as given, without changing the coordinates.

1. The brand rings, bleeding off the top right corner of the page, behind the header, with position: absolute and z-index 0:

2. The arc of the four phases. This is the real geometry of the method: the apex is not in the middle, the points are not evenly spaced, and the curve leaves the frame after the fourth phase because Follow-through is not the end of the line. Do not straighten it, do not centre it, do not add a fifth phase:

3. The target mark, used as a marker before each sentence of the last section, at 10px with 2mm of space from the text:

Add no other drawing. No icon libraries, no separately drawn arrows, no progress bars, no charts of numbers I did not give you.

## Rules you cannot break

- Use only the ten programmes listed above. Invent no others and do not change the names.
- Whatever you write on the "what you are left holding" line has to come from the programme page or from the promise I gave you. If you do not know, restate the promise in other words and stop there. Do not name deliverables that do not exist.
- Write no prices. None. If the document needs to mention investment, point to quironlabs.pt/offers.
- Never write that quiron is certified by DGERT or by any other body. It is not.
- Promise no quantified results that I have not given you. Nothing like "cuts costs by 40%".
- No emoji, no gradients, no shadows, no stock imagery.
- Do not build sentences on a negation. Nothing like "it is not a tool, it is a method". Say what the thing is.
- Address me as "your organisation".

## Before you show me

Walk through this list and fix whatever fails:

- The file makes no request to the internet. No <link>, no @import, no src pointing outward.
- There is no fixed height and no overflow: hidden around text, anywhere. The .page uses min-height.
- The footer uses margin-top: auto and not position: absolute.
- Nothing is cut off on the right. The third programme box appears whole.
- The three drawings are there, with the coordinates I gave you.
- There are no prices, no percentages I did not give you, no certifications.

When the HTML is ready, show it to me and tell me in one line what you would change if I gave you more information.
