outsider's

Not from here

Outsider's is the possessive form of outsider—someone not belonging to a particular group.

An outsider's perspective or outsider's view often carries freshness or objectivity, seeing what insiders miss: She brought an outsider's eye to the company's problems.

It can also suggest lack of access or understanding: an outsider's grasp of the situation.
