How to describe something that is easy to improve

adjectivessingle-word-requests

Say I have a person who is fond of change/prone to progress or a technology that is designed to be easily changed and improved. What is an adjective I can use to describe both or either one of them?

I am trying list the advantages of synthetic organisms and want to express that they can easily improve themselves over a short period of time, as opposed to humans.

Usage:

The key advantages of synthetic organisms are lack of emotions,
apathy, ruthless pragmatism, exponential learning and [the fact that
they are easy to improve]

Best Answer

I believe you example requires a noun rather than an adjective as you requested:

The key advantages of synthetic organisms are lack of emotions, apathy, ruthless pragmatism, exponential learning and updatability.
