challengeable

Can be questioned

Challengeable describes something that can be questioned, disputed, or contested.

A challengeable assumption invites scrutiny; a challengeable ruling may be appealed.

The word appears most often in legal and administrative contexts: The decision is challengeable within thirty days.

It implies vulnerability to opposition rather than certainty of defeat.
