In research, predicting outcomes based on multiple variables is a common task. **Linear regression** is a widely used method for modeling the relationship between one or more features and a continuous outcome. By using the `scikit-learn` library, you can efficiently fit a regression model, extract its coefficients, and evaluate its performance with the `R^2` score. This challenge provides you with a `DataFrame` containing `feature1`, `feature2`, and `outcome` columns. Your goal is to fit a linear regression model using both features to predict the outcome, return the model's coefficients and `R^2` score, and print a brief interpretation of the results.
