Lõppstaatus

Lõppstaatus is an Estonian term meaning "final status" or "end state." It describes the last phase, condition, or outcome of a process, system, or decision. The word is formed from lõpp meaning end and staatus meaning status.

In technical contexts, lõppstaatus refers to a terminal or absorbing state in state-transition models such as finite-state machines, workflow diagrams, and process models. When a process reaches this state, further state transitions do not occur unless an external event resets the system. In project management and systems engineering, lõppstaatus describes the final condition of a project, product, or system after implementation, testing, and handover.

In data modeling and software engineering, the concept denotes completion, archiving, or shutdown—e.g., lifecycle management where a system enters lõppstaatus after deployment and decommissioning of older components. In legal, administrative, or organizational contexts, it can describe the officially recorded final outcome of a case, contract, or procedure.

Notes: The term is not a universally standardized technical term; its precise meaning depends on domain conventions, protocols, and documentation. In some contexts, alternative translations include "final state," "end state," or "terminal state." See also state machine, end state, terminal state, project lifecycle.
