Net/Net is an updated version of the bottom line, meaning the end result.  Typically, it comes at the end of a statement someone is adding to a discussion. For example, if an MBA is walking their boss through their opinion on a proposal, they might conclude with, “Net/net we’ll make $1 million with this $10,000 investment. I recommend we do it.”
