In Brazilian business and academic contexts, concluding suggestions are important for leaving a positive final impression. They are often used in presentations, reports, and formal meetings as a polite way to offer recommendations without being prescriptive. In Portugal, the phrasing tends to be more formal with 'conclusivo' preferred over 'final'.
