work product
What you produce
Work product is the output of professional labor—documents, reports, analyses, or other materials created in the course of doing one's job.
In legal contexts, the work product doctrine protects materials prepared by attorneys in anticipation of litigation from discovery by opposing parties: The memo was shielded as attorney work product.
More broadly, any deliverable counts: Her work product speaks for itself.
