factualness
State of correctness
Factualness is the quality of being based on or concerned with facts.
The word overlaps almost entirely with factuality, which is more common.
Both describe how well something corresponds to reality: The report's factualness was never in doubt.
The "-ness" form sounds slightly more informal or improvised.
