In both American and Brazilian business contexts, 'custom specification' is heavily used in technology, software development, manufacturing, and construction industries. It reflects the modern emphasis on personalization and client-specific solutions rather than one-size-fits-all approaches. In Brazil, the term 'especificação personalizada' is widely understood in corporate environments, while 'sob medida' (made-to-measure) is more traditional and may still be preferred in some sectors.
