deliverable

A deliverable is a specific document, product, service, or other result that one party is required to provide to another under a contract or agreement.

In plain English

It is the concrete item or result that the agreement says must be handed over. The word points to something specific, not a vague duty. One party owes it to the other because the contract requires it.

In context

Here, “deliverable” names the particular item or result being tracked because it must be provided under the contract.

Situation

Meaning limits

Examples

Core meaning

“Before the review, the coordinator logged each deliverable due under the agreement.”
