outcome-based
Measured by consequences
Outcome-based describes approaches that focus on results rather than processes or inputs.
An outcome-based curriculum measures what students can actually do, not what they were taught.
Outcome-based funding ties money to achieved results: The grant was outcome-based, paying only for verified job placements.
The term appears frequently in education, healthcare, and policy contexts where accountability for measurable results is emphasized.
