Well-Formed Outcome

A set of conditions that define a goal in a way that makes it achievable and ecologically sound. A well-formed outcome must be stated in positive terms (what you want, not what you don't want), be within the person's own control, have sensory-specific evidence for its achievement, be appropriately contextualized, and be checked for ecological soundness. Well-formed outcomes are the foundation of effective goal-setting in NLP.
