go beyond

Pass the boundary

Go beyond means to exceed or surpass a limit, boundary, or expectation.

You might go beyond the call of duty, go beyond what's required, or go beyond someone's wildest dreams.

The phrase often suggests pushing past conventional limits: The investigation went beyond financial records into personal correspondence.

To go beyond is to venture further than others have.
