Outcome-based delegation: a delegation architecture where the delegator specifies the desired result and constraints, but leaves the method of achievement open to the delegate's discretion, thereby preserving autonomy, inviting better solutions, and enabling adaptation to changing conditions
Why This Is a Definition
This definition precisely establishes the semantic boundary of 'outcome-based delegation' by identifying its genus (delegation architecture) and differentia (specifying result/constraints while leaving method open). It distinguishes this from method-based delegation and explains the functional benefits, making it clearly differentiable from related concepts like 'method-based delegation' or 'micromanagement.'
