1. Value-judgement

Usually yes. Typically evaluates depth/thoroughness rather than a fixed technical property.

Examples
  • Finally the HRS has detailed data on private pension plan provisions.

4. Amplified

Sometimes amplified: the most, highly, very, increasingly, extremely

Examples
  • These studies will enable a highly detailed understanding of the mechanisms that drive and regulate eukaryotic translation …

Often coordinated/stacked with other rigour adjectives (e.g., accurate and detailed; comprehensive and detailed; systematic and detailed; extensive and detailed; thorough and detailed; precise and detailed; robust and detailed; rigorous and detailed).

Examples
  • The goal of the project is to produce a detailed and accurate picture of selected inter- and intramolecular distributions …

6. Broader context

When ambiguous, consider whether surrounding context contributes to or detracts from the overall promotional force (e.g., other hype terms vs. relative/hedged framing).

Examples
  • Thus, a more detailed study is required to better define glucose-, and glucose-dependent IGF-1/GH-induced Beta-cell growth.
