end state
Ultimate resulting situation
End state is the desired final condition of something after a process, operation, or transformation is complete.
The term appears most often in military and strategic planning: The end state we're working toward is a stable, self-governing region.
In project management and policy, end state defines what success looks like when the work is done.
