Morphology

PIR = implementation + review (opaque) = P + I + R

As an initialism, PIR does not transparently signal 'post-implementation review' to learners without prior knowledge of the expansion. [Postprocessing: moved 'post' from base_words to prefix]

Etymology

The word PIR comes from Post-Implementation Review, where 'post' means 'after' and 'review' means 'a careful look'. So a PIR is a formal check done after a project to see what worked and what to improve.
