verifiables
Facts you can check
Things that can be checked, confirmed, or proven true.
The term appears in contexts where distinguishing testable claims from speculation matters: We need verifiables, not hunches.
In hiring or background checks, verifiables are facts that can be independently confirmed—employment dates, degrees, certifications.
