narrowable
Able to tighten
Narrowable describes something that can be made narrower or more restricted.
A search can be narrowed by adding filters; a list of suspects can be narrowed through investigation.
The gap between the two candidates is narrowable with enough effort.
The word appears most often in technical or analytical contexts where reduction or refinement is possible.
