Goalrelated

Goalrelated is an adjective formed by combining goal and related. It describes something connected with goals, goal setting, or goal-directed processes. The more common form is goal-related, often hyphenated in standard English; the unhyphenated variant goalrelated appears in some technical texts but is less common.

In psychology and behavioral sciences, goal-related describes processes, motivations, or behaviors that contribute to attaining a goal, such as goal-related motivation or goal-related decision making. In management and productivity contexts, goal-related metrics, outcomes, or analyses track progress toward defined objectives. In sports and performance analysis, goal-related statistics refer to actions and events that influence the likelihood of scoring or achieving a target, including both individual and team-level data. In human-computer interaction and UX design, goal-related features align software behavior with user objectives, helping users complete tasks that matter to them.

Notes: as a generic modifier, goal-related is broad and may be ambiguous without context. When clarity is needed, it may be paired with a more specific noun, such as goal-related motivation, goal-related metrics, or goal-related behavior. Related terms include goal-oriented and goal-directed, which emphasize the intent or steering toward a particular outcome.
