Word structure
The word is derived from 'Streit' (dispute/argument). 'Strittig' means 'disputed' or 'debatable'. The prefix 'un-' negates this, so 'unstrittig' (undisputed) literally means 'without dispute' or 'not disputed'.
EXAMPLE
Die Faktenlage in diesem Fall ist völlig unstrittig.
The facts in this case are completely undisputed.
Sentence structure with 'dass'
A very common construction is 'Es ist unstrittig, dass ...' (It is undisputed that ...). This sentence structure introduces a subordinate clause that contains a generally recognized fact or finding.
EXAMPLE
Es ist unstrittig, dass die Erde sich um die Sonne dreht.
It is undisputed that the Earth revolves around the sun.
Register and style
'Unstrittig' (undisputed) is mainly used in formal, factual, or argumentative contexts. You often find it in news reports, academic texts, or legal documents to present a fact as given.
EXAMPLE
Der Nutzen dieser Maßnahme ist unter Experten unstrittig.

Compare with
