tulosetel

Tulosetel is a Finnish term formed from tulos (result) and setel (note, voucher). It is a compound noun used in several Finnish administrative, educational, and business contexts to denote a document that records the outcome of a process. The exact meaning and authority of a tulosetel vary by sector, but it generally functions as evidence of an outcome and can trigger subsequent actions.

In practice, a tulosetel may be issued after completing an assessment, audit, transaction, or service task. It can take the form of a receipt, a short certificate, or a summary that lists the result, date, involved parties, and any decisions or required follow-up. Depending on the setting, the document may be issued on paper or electronically and may be stored in records or sent to stakeholders.

Linguistic notes: The term is relatively specialized and not universally standardized; it is primarily found in Finnish-language administrative or organizational discourse. It illustrates Finnish word-formation patterns by combining two basic roots rather than adopting a borrowed term. Related concepts include todistus (certificate) and kuitti (receipt).
