final position

Ultimate standing point

Final position is where something ends up after movement or change.

In chess and other games, it's the arrangement of pieces when play concludes.

In physics or engineering, it describes where an object comes to rest: Calculate the final position of the projectile.

In negotiations or debates, a final position is one's conclusive stance: After hours of discussion, she stated her final position on the merger.
