Quantifiable means that which can be measured or quantified or even estimated in number terms; in other words, given some values.
This term is commonly used when one needs to make a comparison or selection based on numbers. For example, benefits accruing from social security; income stream arising from an investment proposal; etc. The conversion of something into numbers makes it easy to evaluate its relevance or usefulness, etc.
