effect's
Result's possessive form
Effect's is the possessive form of effect, indicating something belongs to or is associated with an effect.
The word appears in contexts discussing what an effect produces or possesses: The medication's effect's duration was shorter than expected, The policy's effect's reach extended beyond the target population.
In practice, writers often restructure sentences to avoid this somewhat awkward double possessive.
