What does a ver qué sale mean?

ExpressionNeutro

we'll see what comes of it

Said of something already in motion whose outcome is out of your hands. It is a way of not getting your hopes up out loud, which in Spain counts as prudence: announcing that something will go well is very nearly inviting it to go badly. Its family includes a ver qué pasa and ya veremos.

Ya he echado la solicitud, a ver qué sale.
Hope, kept deliberately small.
