In both American and Brazilian contexts, 'random schemes' typically carries a negative connotation, suggesting lack of professional planning or strategic thinking. In tech and startup cultures, however, 'random' experimentation (A/B testing, pivot strategies) is sometimes seen as innovative, though still preferably guided by some methodology. Portuguese speakers often use 'esquemas aleatórios' in academic and technical contexts, while colloquial alternatives emphasize the chaotic nature more strongly.
