No, I'm thinking more like:

(defmacro errorable
  [success-spec error-spec]
  `(s/or :success ~success-spec
         :error ~error-spec))

(s/def ::result (errorable string? #{:authentication-failure :missing-input})

(s/conform ::result "Here is a successful and valid result.")

-> [:success "Here is a successful and valid result."]

(s/conform ::result :missing-input)

-> [:error :missing-input]

Now we have a standard spec for something that is either in success or in 
error. And it conforms to standard representations, a vector pair, with first 
being either the :success keyword or the :error keyword.

You can add convenience function to this if you want, like:

(defmacro if-error
  [spec value do-when-success do-when-error]
  ...)

(if-error ::result result
  (display result)
  (display "An error occurred, please try again.")
