Outcome Oracle

๐Ÿ“–What it means

The single judgment on whether an initiative's OBJECTIVE was really met โ€” as opposed to whether its steps ran. 'It finished' is true however bad the result was; the Oracle exists because assertions about mechanism are not assertions about outcome.

๐Ÿ“–Easily confused with

[{"term": "Review", "distinction": "A review judges the quality of the work done; the Oracle judges whether the point of the initiative was achieved at all."}, {"term": "Gate", "distinction": "A gate checks a condition mechanically; the Oracle renders a verdict."}]

๐Ÿ“–Also called

- the outcome verdict
- objective verdict
