In both Brazilian and American business contexts, poor-quality proposals are viewed as unprofessional and can damage the reputation of the submitting individual or organization. In Brazil, there is often more tolerance for informal language, but structural deficiencies are still heavily penalized. In the USA, such proposals are typically filtered out at preliminary review stages. The term is commonly used in corporate, academic, and grant-writing environments.
