Expectations and Anticipated Outcomes

Expectations and Anticipations

• Expectations refer to anticipated outcomes, events, or occurrences conceptualized prior to their fulfillment.

• Outcomes are broadly classified based on whether they align with baseline anticipations:

  • Expected outcomes: Occurrences or results that conform to prior assumptions, models, or predictions.

  • Unexpected outcomes: Occurrences or results that diverge or differ from prior assumptions, models, or predictions.

Fulfillment and Deviation States

• State of Expectation Alignment:

  • The condition where actualized events directly correspond to anticipated conditions.

• State of Expectation Deviation:

  • The condition where actualized events do not correspond to anticipated conditions, covering both non-occurrence and unexpected occurrence variations.
