methodologically
In structured fashion
Methodologically describes how something relates to method—the systematic approach or procedures used in research, analysis, or practice.
It typically appears in academic and scientific contexts: The study was methodologically sound.
Methodologically, we approached the problem by first gathering baseline data.
The word signals attention to process and rigor rather than just results.
