deep-dive
Intensive subject exploration
A deep-dive is a thorough, intensive examination of a subject: Let's do a deep-dive into the quarterly numbers.
The term borrows from scuba diving to suggest going beneath the surface.
As a verb, to deep-dive is to investigate exhaustively: We need to deep-dive on this before the meeting.
