dialled in
Finely tuned up
Dialled in (also spelled dialed in) describes being precisely calibrated or perfectly attuned to something.
The image comes from adjusting a dial to find the exact right setting.
Someone who is dialled in is focused and performing at their best: After a rough first set, she got dialled in and dominated the match.
It also describes having something optimized: We finally got the recipe dialled in.
