conclusively
This adverb describes a result or a decision that is final and leaves no room for doubt or further debate. It is most frequently employed in legal, scientific, or investigative contexts where a definitive piece of evidence settles a dispute or proves a hypothesis beyond reasonable doubt.
While "decisively" also implies a clear result, "conclusively" specifically emphasizes the evidentiary weight of the conclusion. A person may act decisively by making a quick choice, but a case is proven conclusively when the facts make any other outcome impossible.
