predictors
Signs of outcomes
Predictors are factors, variables, or indicators used to forecast outcomes.
In statistics and machine learning, a predictor is an input variable used to estimate a dependent variable: Age and income are strong predictors of voting behavior.
More broadly, anything that signals what's likely to happen: Early test scores are poor predictors of long-term success.
A predictor can also be a person who predicts.
