Portuguese term or phrase: meio de provinha
This is a response to a company's survey of its employees. This must be an expression; I found a couple of examples, but I don't know what it could mean. Help!

Tem que adota uma forma mais clara e objetiva, seja por merecimento ou ***por meio de provinha***.

Thank you, Luciano! Actually, for a business it would be a 'test', and I think 'based on a test' works better in English.
