granular details
Nitty-gritty particulars
Granular details are the fine, small-grained specifics of something—the tiny particulars rather than the broad overview.
The metaphor comes from grain-like particles: sand is more granular than gravel.
When someone asks for granular details, they want the nitty-gritty: Let's get granular about the budget line items.
The phrase often appears in business and technical contexts where precision matters.
