It emphasizes meritocratic selection processes, particularly in government programs, educational institutions, immigration systems, and corporate hiring. The concept reflects a preference for transparent, documentation-based selection over nepotism or informal networks. In Brazilian context, this represents a move toward more formalized and less politically-influenced selection processes.
