supportability
Capacity for upkeep
Supportability is the quality of being supportable—capable of being maintained, defended, or sustained over time.
The term appears most often in technical and military contexts, where it describes how easily equipment or systems can be kept operational: The aircraft's supportability was a key factor in the procurement decision.
A position or argument may also have supportability if it can withstand scrutiny.
