Luckdriven

Luckdriven is a term used to describe a person, project, or situation that relies heavily on chance or random occurrence for success rather than on deliberate planning, strategy, or skill. It implies that outcomes are largely determined by external factors beyond the control of the individual or entity involved. In contexts like gaming or business, a luckdriven approach might involve making decisions with a high degree of uncertainty, hoping for a favorable outcome without extensive analysis or risk mitigation. This contrasts with a more methodical or deterministic approach where actions are carefully chosen to maximize the probability of a desired result. The perception of luckdrivenness can vary; what one person sees as a fortunate coincidence, another might interpret as a lack of foresight or preparation. While luck can play a role in any endeavor, an overreliance on it can lead to unpredictable and potentially unsustainable results. It is often used descriptively to explain why something succeeded or failed when other factors seem less significant.
