operationally
In working terms
Operationally means in terms of actual practice or implementation rather than theory.
A plan that's operationally sound works in the real world.
The word often appears in military and business contexts: operationally ready, operationally effective.
Something may be operationally defined by the procedures used to measure it—defining "intelligence" by what IQ tests measure, for instance.
