recalibrate
Fine-tune the settings
To recalibrate is to calibrate again—to adjust settings or measurements that have drifted from accuracy.
Instruments recalibrate to restore precision: The technician recalibrated the scale.
Figuratively, recalibrate means to reassess and adjust one's approach, expectations, or understanding: After the market crash, investors had to recalibrate their strategies.
The word implies that conditions have changed and previous settings no longer apply.
