Unexpected outcomes

Unexpected outcomes occur when the results of a situation or experiment differ from what was predicted or hoped for. These surprises can happen due to unknown factors, errors, or new variables that weren’t considered initially. They can challenge assumptions, lead to new insights, or require rethinking strategies. While sometimes frustrating, they are a natural part of learning and discovery, often driving innovation and progress by revealing what we didn't understand before. Recognizing and analyzing unexpected outcomes helps improve future planning and decision-making.
