assuming that
If we accept
Assuming that introduces a condition taken as true for the sake of argument or planning: Assuming that the weather holds, we'll leave at dawn.
It's slightly more tentative than "if"—the speaker treats the condition as a working premise rather than a settled fact.
Often shortened to just "assuming": Assuming you're right, what then?
