Tulemuslikud is Estonian for productive, effective or result-oriented, used as the plural nominative form of tulemuslik. The adjective describes actions, methods, organizations or goals that yield favorable outcomes and tangible results. In discourse, tulemuslikud emphasizes the impact and end results rather than merely the processes.

Etymology and grammar: tulemuslik comes from tulemus (result, outcome) with the suffix -lik to form an adjective. The plural form tulemuslikud is used with plural nouns, for example tulemuslikud eesmärgid (productive goals) or tulemuslikud meetodid (effective methods).

Usage and context: The term is common in business management, education, public administration and project planning. It often collocates with nouns such as eesmärgid, meetodid, strateegiad, meeskonnad or projektid to denote outcomes-focused approaches. Examples include tulemuslikud eesmärgid (result-oriented goals) and tulemuslikud meetodid (effective methods). In evaluative writing, tulemuslikkuse (result-oriented performance) can be contrasted with process-oriented descriptions.
