end-product

What's ultimately made

An end-product is the final result of a process or series of steps.

In manufacturing, it's what emerges after raw materials have been transformed: Steel is the end-product of iron ore processing.

The term extends to any outcome: The report was the end-product of months of research.

Also spelled as one word or two.
