result
'das Ergebnis' and 'das Endprodukt' can both refer to something that comes at the end of a process. 'das Ergebnis' is more general and can also be invisible or abstract, for example a decision, a number, or an insight. 'das Endprodukt' often means a finished product that can be used or sold after manufacturing or processing. It can also be used figuratively for the finished result of a piece of work. The words can be confused because both emphasize the end point. When something has been produced or completed, 'Endprodukt' fits well. In many other cases, 'Ergebnis' is more natural.
