documentable
Can be verified
Documentable describes something that can be recorded, verified, or supported with evidence.
If a claim is documentable, you can back it up with paperwork, records, or other proof: Make sure all your expenses are documentable before submitting for reimbursement.
The term appears frequently in legal, medical, and bureaucratic contexts where establishing a paper trail matters.
