For a bounded-space machine, start with a logarithmic work budget and test accepting reachability and reachability of a transition leaving the budget. Accept if acceptance is found, double the budget if an exit is reachable, and otherwise reject. If all paths use at most Cs(n) space, doubling stops at O(s(n)). Each budget test uses the Savitch theorem recursion and the storage is reused. The method discovers a sufficient bound without computing s(n).
