noun phrasepl: untested processes
processo não testado
1. A procedure, method, or system that has not yet been evaluated, verified, or proven to work effectively before implementation

2. A workflow or procedure lacking quality assurance, trial runs, or evidence of success

In both Brazilian and American business cultures, the phrase reflects risk management concerns.

The concept is particularly relevant in tech startups and manufacturing sectors across both cultures.
