+# Country Notes
+
+Core planning docs in `docs/` should stay geography-agnostic. Country-specific launch assumptions, payout rails, partner choices, regulatory notes, and go-to-market details belong in this directory.
+
+## Current dossiers
+
+- `brazil.md` - Brazil-specific notes in pt-BR, centered on `Pix`, local partner choices, and launch considerations
+- `switzerland.md` - Switzerland-specific notes in English, centered on bank-based payouts, compliance expectations, and launch considerations
+
+## Supporting reports
+
+- `brazil-partners.md` - Expanded partner landscape for Brazil, including Dock, QI Tech, Bankly, Pismo, Celcoin, and specialist watchlist options
+- `switzerland-partners.md` - Expanded partner landscape for Switzerland, including HBL Solutions, Yapeal, SIX b.Link, Swisscom, and adjacent options
+
+## Guidance
+
+- Add new countries as separate files rather than baking local assumptions into the core docs.
+- Keep the core product thesis, ledger model, and employer workflow consistent across countries.
+- Document local rails, regulation, partner dependencies, and target verticals here.
