adjustability

Capacity for modification

Adjustability is the quality of being adjustable—capable of being changed, modified, or fine-tuned to suit different conditions or preferences.

The term appears most often in product descriptions and technical contexts where flexibility is a selling point: The chair's adjustability makes it suitable for users of different heights.

Things with high adjustability can be customized across multiple dimensions, while those with limited adjustability offer fewer options for modification.
