Who owns the definition of outcome? Furthermore, how do we achieve alignment when the desired results are nuanced or subjective?

Some definitions of outcomes I believe are very easy to determine. Even if the outcomes are easy to determine, the outcomes I am certain are negotiated between the buyer and seller, just as a service contract.

There could be some workflows where outcomes may not be immediately delivered. Take for instance, a recruiting AI agent solving a successful hire. I would be very glad to understand those scenarios in the field.
