Words that rhyme with Viability
As a four-syllable word, viability sits on the clipped /ɪ/ and leaves the vowel hanging open. Abstract words like this work best when the surrounding line is sensory. The headline counts: the strict-rhyme column is bounded, the family column is blank, and the assonance pool runs into the thousands. The lyric headline: it works as an idea-word looking for a body. Use the assonance pool freely; the ear treats most of those matches as rhymes.

Why viability rhymes the way it does
Viability sits on the tight /ɪ/, transcribed /ɪ/ in our engine, and leaves the vowel hanging open. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 13 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 109, assonance 11,986, and consonance 283. The empty family column matters less than it looks. Family rhymes are a strict-classifier construct; the songwriter's ear accepts most assonance matches in their place. The songwriter's move is to pick a small set of strict rhymes for the chorus and open up to family and assonance through the verses. Viability rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
