على أساس النتائج الإجمالية

You usually place this phrase at the very beginning of a sentence to set the stage for your conclusion. It acts like a signal to your listener that you are about to deliver a verdict. You can also use it in the middle of a sentence to justify a specific decision. It sounds very analytical and thoughtful. If you use this, people will assume you have done your homework and looked at all the data.

This is your go-to phrase for professional environments. Use it in a business meeting when reviewing a project's success. It is perfect for academic settings when discussing research findings or grades. You can also use it in sports when talking about a whole season rather than just one game. Even in serious personal conversations, like evaluating a year-long habit or a major life change, it fits perfectly. It makes you sound like a sophisticated thinker.

Avoid this phrase in highly emotional or impulsive moments. If your friend asks why you want ice cream, saying على أساس النتائج الإجمالية will make you sound like a robot. It is too heavy for casual, split-second choices. Also, don't use it if there is only one result to talk about. The word إجمالية (overall/total) implies that there were multiple factors or events that you have added up. Using it for a single event sounds grammatically and logically awkward.

In the Arab world, Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) is the language of logic, law, and formal administration. This phrase is a hallmark of MSA. It reflects a cultural shift toward data-driven decision-making in modern Arab corporate and academic circles. While traditional Arabic might use more poetic summaries, this phrase is the language of the modern professional. It shows you value objectivity and evidence.

You might hear بناءً على النتائج (Based on the results) which is slightly shorter. Another common one is حسب المحصلة النهائية (According to the final outcome). If you want to be even more formal, you could say استناداً إلى النتائج الكلية. However, the original phrase is the most balanced and widely recognized version in professional contexts.
