contestable
Subject to dispute
Contestable describes something that can be challenged, disputed, or competed for.
A contestable claim invites disagreement; a contestable market allows new competitors to enter.
The word implies vulnerability to challenge rather than settled certainty: The will was contestable on grounds of undue influence.
That's a contestable assumption at best.
