How this site works, and what it will not do

Doll Space Guide is a space, storage and handling planner for adults considering a first purchase. It answers one question: which product form direction — full-size, compact or torso — is worth comparing given your actual conditions, and what to verify before delivery.

It is not a shop, lists no products, and it never judges physical ability, strength, or whether moving an item solo is advisable. Handling complexity here means how much planning a direction needs, nothing more.

The space check asks five questions with fixed enum answers (no free text) and applies a fixed priority: storage and delivery-route conditions are settled first — they can rule a form out entirely — before any form direction is issued. Every result carries its rule version and review date.

Current rules version: 1.0, last reviewed 2026-08-23. The routing lives in one pure function so verified product data can extend it without touching the interface.

Checklist items come from categories of sources: seller policy and specification documents, maker care guidance, and standard logistics practice for large-parcel delivery. The site cites source types, not live listings.

No verified first-party product records exist yet, so the form comparison shows only which fields to compare and the direction of each trade-off — numeric cells stay empty rather than invented, and the SKU spec checker renders an explicitly labelled empty state. When dated ProductSpec data is connected, results will cite it and degrade to "ask the seller" whenever packed dimensions, net weight or packed weight are missing.

The space check stores your five enum answers in sessionStorage; the specification checklist stores tick-marks in localStorage under this site's key alone — clearing it never touches other sites. No names, addresses, free text, or anything in URLs.

Self-hosted Umami page-view analytics (um.dollhelp.com) runs on this site — cookieless, no personal data, no cross-site tracking. Custom tool events are forwarded to the same self-hosted Umami endpoint as enum-only payloads: site and tool identifiers, result type and checklist states. Individual answers never leave the browser.

This site is maintained by a small editorial team. Companion tool sites (first-purchase path, material, budget) are sibling projects under the same ownership and are labelled as companion tools wherever they appear.

Curated picks and partner links: pages mix locally hosted example photos with partner-store listings. Partner links are marked on the card and may earn us a commission at no extra cost to the reader; picks never influence the tools' logic, and no pick can change a result.

A space result is a planning direction, not a guarantee that any product fits, is light, or is easy to move — those are properties of specific products with specific numbers, which is exactly what the checklist asks you to collect.

Content is written for adults only. The site carries an adult content rating and uses no imagery or language sexualizing minors, ambiguous ages, or school contexts.

The layout is migrated from the free Property Next.js template (kept for audit in template-source/). The blueprint room-plan graphics are original vector work owned by this project.

Product imagery appears only inside the clearly framed curated-picks sections — locally hosted example photos and partner listing images. Nothing elsewhere should be read as showing a purchasable product. Placeholder photos collected from third-party listings were removed from all pages in September 2026; nothing on any page should be read as showing a purchasable product.
