• Related想定そうていNeutralA scenario envisaged in advance, e.g. 「想定外」; leans toward anticipating what might happen, rather than a premise something rests on.
• Antonym結論けつろんNeutralThe conclusion drawn by inference; the counterpart of 「前提」 as the starting point of an argument.
• Antonym結果けっかNeutralThe final result or outcome; the counterpart of 「前提」, the condition established beforehand.

Use 「前提」 for the precondition of something holding or the starting point of an inference, as in 「結婚を前提に」「前提が崩れる」. For a tentative assumption say 「仮定」, for a scientific hypothesis 「仮説」, for an anticipated scenario 「想定」; the opposite is 「結論」.
