comprehensiveness
Leaving nothing out
Comprehensiveness is the quality of being thorough and complete, covering all relevant aspects of something.
A comprehensive report leaves nothing out; a comprehensive insurance policy covers many types of damage.
The word often appears in contexts where breadth and depth both matter: The comprehensiveness of the investigation satisfied the board.
