drill down

Drill down means to examine something in progressively greater detail, moving from summary information to specifics.
The metaphor comes from boring deeper into material.
In computing and data analysis, drilling down navigates from aggregate figures to underlying records: Let's drill down into the quarterly numbers.
More broadly, it means investigating thoroughly: We need to drill down on why customers are leaving.
