Why room-by-room works
A studio with books is not the same move as a studio with clothes.
Bedroom count is a useful starting point, but it hides the things that change a move: books, fragile kitchenware, wardrobes, storage areas, and how much you plan to declutter.
MoveSignal weights each room separately, then adjusts the estimate for household size, how full the home is, and whether the move is local or long-distance. The result is a range, not false precision.
