on point
Hitting the mark
On point means exactly right, precise, or relevant to the matter at hand.
Originally military terminology for the lead soldier in a formation, it now describes anything perfectly suited to its purpose: Her analysis was on point, That outfit is on point.
The phrase suggests hitting the target exactly, with nothing extraneous or off-mark.
