Abbreviated: R.B.I.; An approach to investing where an individual offers to invest, or donate, money, resources, and or provide information to a business or organization, but before the organization can get anything from the investor, they are given some objectives by the potential investor who expects them to make significant progress towards completing them and or complete some of them by a certain point in time before they are willing to invest or donate in their organization or business
Results-Based Investment can be a very useful tool for various individuals and or organizations working to promote social change in society, because it allows them to pressure certain businesses and organizations into taking certain stances on specific social issues and or change policies that are harmful and or unreasonably discriminatory against certain populations.

Based is used to describe someone from "Base Reality" - It comes from the conflicting theories of if we are living in a "Base Reality" or a "Simulation". The concepts of differing realities (matrix style) gained traction after Elon Musk made the following statements:
1.) From the Recode Code Conference (2016) There is “a one in billions chance that this that is the world in which we live is base reality.” Which is to say, not a simulation.
2.) From the Joe Rogan Experience Podcast (2018): "Why would you make a simulation that's boring? You'd make a simulation that's way more interesting than base reality," Musk said.
A base reality is the idea that there are multiple layers of reality - and those who are from base reality or are "based" (usually associated with common sense and critical thinking) are living with those from a simulation or parallel reality/timeline.
