unequivocal
Beyond any doubt
Unequivocal means leaving no room for doubt or misinterpretation.
An unequivocal statement is clear and direct.
Unequivocal support is wholehearted, without reservation.
The word emphasizes certainty—there's no ambiguity, no hedging, no possibility of reading it another way: The evidence was unequivocal.
