measurable
Able to gauge
Measurable describes something that can be quantified or assessed in concrete terms.
A measurable improvement or measurable progress is one you can actually demonstrate with numbers or clear evidence, not just a vague impression.
The word often appears in goal-setting contexts where accountability matters: objectives should be specific and measurable.
In math and science, measurable has technical meanings related to whether quantities can be assigned numerical values according to defined standards.
