granularities
Degrees of detail
Granularities is the plural of granularity, which refers to the level of detail or fineness in a system, analysis, or data set.
At high granularity, you see fine distinctions; at low granularity, you see broader categories.
The term appears often in technical and business contexts: The report examines sales at multiple granularities—daily, weekly, and monthly.
Different granularities suit different purposes.
