summarizable
Able to condense
Summarizable describes something that can be condensed into a shorter form while retaining its essential meaning.
A summarizable article has clear main points that can be extracted.
Some things resist summarization—a poem's meaning may depend on its exact words, making it less summarizable than a news report.
