user22034: This was a question here:

Do all good and/or all pleasant intentions have pleasant outcomes for one/or another?

It may be good to investigate in frames of the Buddha-Dhamma.
And could that be always traced by anyone, the line of cause and effect?

user23952: The question is full of assumptions, and significant in that the words skill and effort do not appear in it. The Buddha continually stressed the point that skillful intent and effort in action are required to maximize control over results, that is, good Karma is skillful Karma. Courses of Action is an example of this teaching.

user13709: No. Chasing pleasant can lead to unpleasant:

AN10.104:1.1: “Mendicants, consider a person who has wrong view, thought, speech, action, livelihood, effort, mindfulness, immersion, knowledge, and freedom.
AN10.104:1.2: Whatever bodily, verbal, or mental deeds they undertake in line with that view, their intentions, aims, wishes, and choices all lead to what is unlikable, undesirable, disagreeable, harmful, and suffering.
AN10.104:1.3: Why is that?
AN10.104:1.4: Because their view is bad.

Only this works:

AN10.104:3.1: Consider a person who has right view, thought, speech, action, livelihood, effort, mindfulness, immersion, knowledge, and freedom. Whatever bodily, verbal, or mental deeds they undertake in line with that view, their intentions, aims, wishes, and choices all lead to what is likable, desirable, agreeable, beneficial, and pleasant.
AN10.104:3.2: Why is that?
AN10.104:3.3: Because their view is good.
