Cultural Tip
In Spanish‑speaking workplaces, it’s common to soften criticism with phrases like 'No me convence' rather than a blunt 'Está mal'. This shows respect for the effort while still expressing doubt. In some regions, especially in Latin America, you might also hear 'No me cuadra' (it doesn't add up) for similar contexts.
