ideal outcomes
Optimal end states
Ideal outcomes are the best possible results one could hope for in a given situation.
The phrase appears frequently in planning, goal-setting, and strategic contexts, where people distinguish between realistic expectations and what would happen if everything went perfectly: Let's start by defining our ideal outcomes, then work backward.
In therapy and self-help, identifying ideal outcomes helps clarify what someone actually wants.
