proofless
Lacking supporting documentation
Proofless describes something that lacks evidence or verification to support it.
A proofless claim or assertion stands without documentation, testimony, or demonstrable facts behind it.
The word appears occasionally in legal, philosophical, and argumentative contexts where the absence of proof is itself significant: His proofless accusations carried no weight with the jury.
