executable

In legal and administrative contexts, this term describes a document or order that is legally binding and ready for enforcement. It carries a formal, technical tone, distinguishing a plan that is merely theoretical from one that is practically and legally viable.

In computing, the term refers specifically to a binary file. While it functions as a noun, it is often used as a shorthand for "executable file." Users should be aware that in a technical context, the word is neutral, whereas in a legal context, it implies the presence of all necessary conditions for action.
