Expert Analysis
✕ Does not fit — 0" too large
[why-details]
> Why it doesn't fit
The item exceeds the opening in every orientation — no rotation or tilt resolves this.
Tightest point: Item vs Opening (width axis)
Remaining clearance: 0" (0%)

[maneuver-details]
> How to make it work
The item exceeds the space in every orientation — standard entry won't work. Consider these alternatives:
- Disassemble the item if possible
- Check for wider doors or windows
- Consider professional movers with pivot techniques

> Effort required
Safety margin: Near-zero
Operational expectation: Precision handling. Under 0% margin leaves very little tolerance for error. Two-person carry minimum. Clear the path completely before attempting.

What we used · Low Confidence
Opening: 30"W × 80"H
Item: couch — smallest cross-section 30" (estimated)
Assumptions
- Item is rigid and cannot be compressed, bent, or disassembled
- Space has perfectly square corners and flat surfaces
- No obstructions (light fixtures, handrails, trim, furniture) in the path
- Door opens fully (90° or more) and stays open during passage
- Interpreted taller dimension as door height
- Applied 38mm practical clearance for handling
All orientations tested (6 orientations)
| | Orientation | Width | Height | Note |
|---|------------|-------|--------|------|
| ✗ | 30×71" (front/back) | 0" | 9" | too_wide |
| ✗ | 30×35" (sideways) | 0" | 45" | too_wide |
| ✗ | 35×30" (sideways) | -5" | 50" | too_wide |
| ✗ | 35×71" (laid flat) | -5" | 9" | too_wide |
| ✗ | 71×30" (front/back) | -41" | 50" | too_wide |
| ✗ | 71×35" (laid flat) | -41" | 45" | too_wide |
Step-by-step proof (best: 30×71")
1. Width: 30" item ≤ 30" opening → ✓ (0" clearance)
2. Height: 71" item ≤ 80" opening → ✓ (9" clearance)
Limiting: no_orientation_fits at 0"
