Results are where measurement meets time. Each period in your framework’s cadence (quarter, half, month, sprint — whatever the template uses) gets a target and an actual per measurable Goal, so you can see whether you’re ahead, behind, or off course without exporting a spreadsheet.
A result in Hamster is the per-period row for a measurable goal: the target you intended, the actual you achieved (or the rolled-up value from connected systems), a status (On Track, At Risk, Off Track, Achieved, Missed), and optional confidence (0–1) when the team’s still forecasting.
Results always use the Metric defined on that goal — same unit, direction, and aggregation — so “35% vs 40%” means the same thing in stand-ups, in the Goals view, and in chat.
Your active Goals framework instance has a cadence. Hamster generates periods from it — e.g. Q1 2026, H1 2026, April 2026, or continuous slices for always-on growth frameworks. Each measurable goal gets a result row per period. You can log targets and actuals as you go; at review time, history is already there.
goals.manage record or adjust target, actual, status, and confidence for a period.When an actual lands outside the band you care about, status and optional alerts make “off track” visible without someone curating a deck.
Hamster Chat reads the same results when you ask whether a goal is on track or what moved last period. The Goals experience shows current period and trend: which metrics are green, which need attention, and which goals still have no initiatives behind them.
Recording and editing results requires goals.manage, consistent with Goals and Metrics. Members and Reviewers typically see results read-only. Roles & Permissions define access.
