I am not sure, whether {ba'o broda} implies success or not, but even
if it does, success may be undone shortly thereafter.
I think {ba'o} by itself would not indicate completion. We have for the
termination point itself the three possibilities:
mo'u broda (completion)
de'a broda (non-completion)
co'u broda (indeterminate for completion)
I would say {ba'o mo'u broda} is the situation after completion,
{ba'o de'a broda} is the situation after ceasing without completion,
and {ba'o co'u broda} = {ba'o broda} is not determined either way.
