In both American and Brazilian professional contexts, a 'chaotic review' is often criticized as ineffective and demoralizing. In corporate environments, this term is used to describe poorly managed evaluation processes that lack clear criteria or structure. In academia and publishing, it may refer to peer review processes that are unorganized or lack rigorous standards. Brazilian workplaces may use the more colloquial 'bagunçada' (messy) to describe such situations informally among colleagues.
