controllability
Ability to steer
Controllability is the quality of being controllable—how readily something responds to direction or management.
In engineering, it's a technical property: a system has controllability if inputs can move it from any state to any other state.
The aircraft's controllability was compromised by ice on the wings.
The term appears in discussions of complex systems, from vehicles to emotions to corporate governance.
