survivability
This term is primarily used in technical, military, and biological contexts to describe a measurable capacity for endurance. It differs from survival, which refers to the actual act of staying alive, by focusing on the inherent quality or probability of success before or during a crisis. It carries a clinical, analytical tone often associated with risk assessment and engineering.
As an uncountable noun, it describes an abstract property or a statistical rate. It does not take a plural form in standard usage, and because it is a mass noun, it cannot be counted with numbers; instead, it is modified by adjectives like high, low, or increased to indicate the degree of the property.
