Best practice
Avoid using the phrase "outcome upon". Instead, opt for clearer and more grammatically sound alternatives such as "result of", "consequence of", or "effect of" depending on the context you intend to convey.
Common error
Don't use "upon" to link an outcome directly to its cause. "Upon" typically indicates a time relationship or a condition, not a causal one. Using phrases like "result of" or "consequence of" clarifies the relationship and improves readability.
