In both Brazilian and American business contexts, 'opinion-driven methodology' is typically used critically to describe flawed decision-making processes. In Brazil, the term 'achismo' (judgmentalism based on opinions) is culturally significant and often contrasted with more rigorous, data-driven approaches. The phrase reflects contemporary emphasis on evidence-based decision-making in professional and academic settings.
