Two Brazilian sources from 2021-2024 (an author's interview and a writer-academic's article) describe a staged process at Globo: a detailed synopsis with possible ramifications, executive approval, then blocks of chapters written while production and airing proceed, with several collaborators on a run of about 180 chapters. Advice for the opening is few central characters and a protagonist with a clear, changeable goal. The sources describe Globo's practice for one genre slot; they do not document other broadcasters or Spanish-language telenovelas.
