factually
Based on evidence
Factually means in accordance with facts or reality: Is that factually accurate?
The word often appears in contexts where truth is being verified or disputed: The article was factually correct but misleading in tone.
It contrasts with opinions, interpretations, or errors: I'm not arguing ethics—I'm asking what factually happened.
