ABOUT · DAMYAN, SOLO

Built fast.
Approved by hand.
No outsourcing, no calls.

Quintara is run by one person in Austria — Damyan. Each brief is built from public sources: research, synthesis, the named next move, confidence ratings on every claim. I read and approve every report under my signature before it ships. If the evidence won’t carry a named move, I refuse delivery on the cover and refund. If the question can’t be answered from public sources at all, I tell you that in the Free Diagnostic — before you pay anything.

Buyers are lean B2B/SaaS/DTC founders making pricing, positioning, market-entry, or competitor-response decisions on incomplete data. They want a sourced external read, not a consultancy deck. 24 hours, written, no calls.

How a Quintara report gets written

The non-negotiables.

01
Built fast. Approved by hand.

The system does the work — research, citations, synthesis, the named move. I (Damyan) read the result and decide: ship, redo, or refund. You're paying for the approval — and for the refund clause if I can't give it.

02
Source → interpretation → recommendation.

Every claim cites where it came from. Every interpretation cites the claim. Every recommendation cites the interpretation. Hand the PDF to your team and they can disagree with the reasoning — not just the facts.

03
Named next move.

Every report ends with a named next move. Not "consider exploring." Not "you may want to." The specific decision the evidence supports. If we can't name one, we say so on the cover.

04
24 hours, or we decline the brief.

If we can't deliver a clean 24-hour report on the question you sent, we say so before you pay. We'd rather decline the brief than ship a hedged one.

Who is behind Quintara
Damyan Malchev
Damyan Malchev
Founder & Analyst, Quintara Reports
Austria

Damyan Malchev runs Quintara Reports out of Austria. Each brief is a research artifact: pricing pages, the competitor moves you missed in the last 90 days, verbatim customer reviews, a positioning gap analysis, and one specific next move with confidence ratings. Damyan personally approves every report under his signature before it ships. The call to send it — or refund and tell you the evidence didn’t carry a move — is his.

The method is built for speed and accountability. Drafts assemble from primary sources — every claim traced to a URL — and run through a quality check before Damyan opens them. He reads the named move, scans the evidence, and decides: ship, redo, or refund. Every claim cites its source. Every report ends with a specific next move. Where the evidence won’t carry one, the cover says so and you get a full refund.

Quintara is intentionally narrow: 24-hour delivery, one fixed price per tier, no calls, no retainers. The work speaks for itself or the refund kicks in (full mechanics at /refund). The free Decision Diagnostic exists for the same reason — it scopes your question first and tests fit before any money changes hands.

Built fast, approved by a human

The system builds the brief. Damyan stands behind it.

The research engine compiles sources, drafts the synthesis, names the move, and runs a hostile self-critique — in minutes, at a depth that used to take human analysts weeks. What it can’t do is sign off. That part is the human work: reading the named move, deciding ship-or-regenerate, and standing behind the result with a refund if it doesn’t land. That accountability is what you’re paying for. Here’s the split, line by line.

The systemResearch, draft, self-critiqueDamyanReads · approves · signs · refunds
Pulls public filings, datasets, news, and archived pages — then ranks each source by how trustworthy it is.Reads the named move and spot-checks 3 random citations to make sure the artifact represents Quintara.
Builds the draft: competitor profiles, market summaries, the positioning gap, confidence ratings per claim.Reads the gap grid and asks: would a sceptical CFO buy this? If not, regenerates.
Writes the named next move, the anti-recommendation, and the part where it tells you what you were getting wrong.Applies the would-I-take-this-advice-myself test. If the move fails, regenerates. After 2 failed passes, refunds.
Runs a hostile self-critique against a 10-item quality checklist before Damyan sees a single page.Final approval. Three options on every brief: approve · regenerate · refund.
Composes the cover, the citations index, the working spreadsheet, and the delivery email.Approves the final artifact under signature. Stands behind the named move when the email goes out.

The gate:nothing ships until I approve it. The system runs its self-critique pass first; I then read the named move, scan the gap grid, and spot-check 3 random citations. If anything reads off, I send it back. If two passes don’t fix it, the brief refunds with a refusal cover. Read the full methodology →
