Slutstånd

Slutstånd is a Swedish noun used to denote the final state or end condition of a process, system, or analysis. The term is a compound of slut (end, final) andstånd (state, condition) and appears mainly in technical and scientific writing, as well as in project documentation and engineering reports. Its exact meaning is dependent on context: it refers to the condition that a system has reached after a sequence of steps, or under specified constraints, when development or change has effectively completed.

In practice, slutstånd commonly denotes a stable or equilibrium condition reached after a series of transformations, measurements, or simulations. It can describe the result of manufacturing processes, the terminal state of a dynamic system, or the outcome of an analytical evaluation. In reporting, both the process leading to the slutstånd and the characteristics of the slutstånd itself may be described.

Related terms and variants are sometimes used in different fields. In some contexts, slutligt tillstånd or slutläge may be preferred to express the same general idea of a final state. Depending on discipline, other phrases such as slutresultat (final result) or end state may also be used.
