researchable
Able to investigate
Researchable describes something that can be investigated or studied systematically.
A topic is researchable if it's specific enough to examine with available methods and sources: Is this question even researchable, or are we just speculating?
The term appears most often in academic contexts when evaluating whether a proposed study is feasible.
