tractable
Willing to comply
Tractable describes something or someone easy to manage, control, or work with.
A tractable person is cooperative and compliant rather than stubborn: The new hire proved tractable and eager to learn.
Problems or materials can also be tractable—amenable to solution or manipulation: The data finally became tractable after we cleaned it up.
The opposite is intractable.
