Abstract: We show for $A,Bsubsetmathbb{R}^d$ of equal volume and $tin(0,1/2]$ that if $|tA+(1-t)B|<(1+t^d)|A|$, then (up to translation) $|extco(AcupB)|/|A|$ is bounded. This establishes the sharp threshold for Figalli and Jerison's quantative stability of the Brunn-Minkowski inequality. We additionally establish a similar sharp threshold for iterated sumsets.
