Activity
Outcomes are results that matter, beyond activities, processes and outputs (often mislabeled 'outcomes'). Currently focused mostly on the 'war' against money laundering, arguably the least effective anti-crime measure, ever, anywhere (as quoted in US Senate testimony). Unlocking new ways to achieve better outcomes in such areas offer practical lessons to help resolve 'merely' intractable issues elsewhere.
