In Brazil, the adoption of 'data-driven methods' reflects the growing influence of Silicon Valley technology culture and digital transformation initiatives. Larger corporations and startups commonly use the English term directly, while government and traditional institutions prefer Portuguese translations. The concept has become central to business education and consulting in Brazil since the 2010s, particularly in São Paulo's financial and tech sectors. In the USA, this methodology is foundational to corporate strategy, tech innovation, and increasingly in education and public policy decision-making.
