not sure about setting outcomes but only affects AI

To be honest, i dont fully understand how the value proposition of a play is made in terms of the AI. i should have set the goaded thing to detriment by my judgement (in a general case), but setting one effect to benefit and the other to detriment on the same card seems like a strange thing to hand the computer. Is there a place this is documented?

If ability has multiple effects or different outcomes then you can use Ability::addCustomOutcome -- it will help AI with some decisions (see below about put to battlefield).
AI uses outcomes in few places like battle score calculation, targets selections, yes/no choices, etc. Basic logic:
- player need make some choice;
- AI look at effect's outcome and try make good choice: activate good effect/choice, ignore bad effect/choice
- If AI need choose targets then it will try to choose own creatures for good effects and opponent's creatures for bad effects. It it possible to cancel on bad effect without opponent targets then it will cancel it. And so on.
- Look in
CopyAITestandGainControlAITestfor some examples;
Also it used in some AI optimizations like activation of "put to battlefield" abilities before combat:
| // Enchanted creature has indestructible and is goaded. | ||
| Effect effect = new GainAbilityAttachedEffect(IndestructibleAbility.getInstance(), | ||
| AttachmentType.AURA, Duration.WhileOnBattlefield); | ||
| effect.setText("Enchanted creature has indestructible"); |
