The term 'post-incident review' is widely used in both Brazilian and American corporate environments, particularly in technology, healthcare, aviation, and emergency management sectors. In Brazil, there has been increasing adoption of blameless post-incident review practices, influenced by Silicon Valley tech culture. In the USA, this practice is particularly formalized in regulated industries such as healthcare (Patient Safety Evaluation Systems) and aviation (Aviation Safety Reporting System). The emphasis on 'blameless' reviews represents a shift from punitive to learning-focused organizational cultures in both countries.
