track record

Past achievement summary

A track record is the history of someone's or something's past performance, used to predict future results.

The term comes from horse racing, where a horse's record at a particular track indicates likely success.

Now it applies broadly: The company has a strong track record of innovation.

A proven track record demonstrates consistent achievement.
