result
'das Ergebnis' and 'die Performance' can both describe how good something was in the end. 'das Ergebnis' refers more to the concrete result, for example a number, a final score, or an answer. 'die Performance' refers more to the performance or quality along the way, for example how well a team, a product, or a computer worked. They can be confused because good performance often leads to a good result. If you mean the result itself, use 'Ergebnis'. If you are evaluating performance or speed, 'Performance' fits better.
