Can a result be "open"?
I'm not a native speaker. Is it good English to say
the result is (still) open
meaning that for whatever reason the result (e.g., of a study, of an examination) is not available yet, but will be in the future?
Solution 1:
In that situation, I would go with pending:
- awaiting a conclusion or a confirmation
- begun but not completed
So,
the results are (still) pending
Solution 2:
Your phrase makes sense but would feel incomplete to most English speakers because open's placement in this phrase, while meaning not finally settled, could also mean welcoming discussion, criticism, and inquiry and would then be followed by to or for, e.g., open to interpretation or @pageman's open for speculation.
