provably
In verifiable fashion
Provably means in a way that can be demonstrated or proven.
The word appears most often in technical contexts—mathematics, logic, computer science—where formal proof is possible: The algorithm is provably correct.
Outside technical use, provably emphasizes that evidence exists: The claim is provably false.
