An outcome measure is an agreed upon measure of success. If you build a bridge, a successful outcome measure is that the bridge is safe and does not collapse. Bridge safety is thus an outcome measure of bridge building.[1]

Notes

You can apply outcome measures to any human endeavour from sex to spirituality. If the sex was good and both partners had a powerful orgasm, then you have a successful outcome.

If the chocolate cake you baked is light and fluffy and everybody gobbles it up, then you have a successful outcome. In this case taste, texture, and acceptance by others are the outcome measures of cake baking.

If Spirituality is the issue, then spirituality is authentic if it provides Healing and Connection..[2]

Maslow notes the importance of healing when he says that judging the authenticity of a peak experience requires "a follow-up of the individual" to see if the peak experiences led to stable change. [3]
