more precisely

In finer terms

More precisely introduces a refinement or correction of something just stated, narrowing it to greater accuracy: The package will arrive Tuesday—more precisely, Tuesday afternoon.

It signals that what follows is a sharper version of a previous approximation, not a contradiction but a tightening.
