# Result

The output of agentic transformation

Layer: Infrastructure · Category: Data Structures

## Mechanism

The canonical output of an operation (often a [Solution](https://mindscape.world/scapes/bootstrap/Solution.md)). It encapsulates success/failure status, the artifact produced, and associated [MetricReading](https://mindscape.world/scapes/bootstrap/MetricReading.md) records such as time taken, resources consumed, and confidence score. It serves as the bridge between execution and evaluation.

## Invariants

- Provenance: Every Result must trace to the Task and Solver that produced it.
- Immutability: Once yielded, a Result cannot be modified (only superseded).
- Measurability: Resource consumption must be recorded.

## Failure modes

- Partial Result: Output is incomplete but presented as complete.
- Hallucinated Result: Output claims to solve the task but doesn't.
- Unvalidated Result: Result bypasses checking.
