Gonogopäätöksessä

Gonogopäätöksessä is a Finnish term that translates to "in the decision of gonogo" or "at the gonogo decision." It refers to a specific stage or point within a decision-making process, often in a legal or administrative context, where a preliminary assessment or determination is made. This initial decision is not necessarily final but rather serves as a gatekeeping function, indicating whether further proceedings or actions are warranted.

The term implies a binary outcome: either the process continues ("go") or it ceases ("no go"). This initial assessment is typically based on certain criteria or evidence presented. For example, in a legal proceeding, a gonogopäätöksessä might be reached after an initial review of a case to determine if there is sufficient grounds to proceed to a full trial. In administrative matters, it could be a stage where an application is reviewed to see if it meets the basic requirements for further consideration.

The significance of the gonogopäätöksessä lies in its ability to streamline processes and conserve resources. By filtering out cases or applications that do not meet initial thresholds, it allows for more focused attention on those with greater potential or merit. The decision made at this stage is often communicated to the relevant parties, informing them of the next steps or the conclusion of the process. While not always subject to appeal, the reasoning behind a gonogopäätöksessä is usually documented.
