# Post Outcome

`POST /v3/verdicts/{verdict_id}/outcome`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.etymolt.com`
- URL: `https://api.etymolt.com/v3/verdicts/{verdict_id}/outcome`
- Auth: none declared

Record a customer-reported outcome event against a verdict.

Examples:

  Customer filed:
    POST /v3/verdicts/v_abc/outcome
    {"event_type":"filed","event_at":"2026-05-12","classes":[9,42]}

  Customer got a §2(d) Office Action citing senior mark XYZ:
    {"event_type":"office_action","event_subtype":"§2(d)",
     "counterparty":"XYZ Inc","resolution":"pending"}

  Customer received C&D from senior holder:
    {"event_type":"cnd","counterparty":"Big Co Inc",
     "cost_usd_est":12500,"resolution":"settled","notes":"..."}

  Customer rebranded away from the name (failure outcome):
    {"event_type":"rebranded","cost_usd_est":50000,
     "resolution":"rebranded","notes":"forced rebrand due to ..."}

Per the board moat memo, these reports are the FOUNDATIONAL data the
competitor structurally cannot replicate. Customers who report are
contributing to a calibration corpus that makes the engine better for
everyone. Offer goodwill counsel-review credit ($500) in exchange for
detailed reporting.
