No context I'm afraid. It appears on a list, the heading of which is Nacharbeit.

Any ideas would be appreciated!

Thanks to everyone who answered my query about Arbeitsprodukt. I've decided to go with Kim's suggestion of 'work product', as it's definitely along the right lines! The topic of the document is the reworking of an object after it was reviewed and errors were found. Interestingly, when I looked up rework in a monolingual English ditionary (New Oxford) I discovered that rework is a verb and the noun is actually reworking!

Explanation:
If there is no context, "result" might be more vague than "product"?
I'm also just guessing ;-)
