recalibration
Setting things right
Recalibration is the process of adjusting or correcting something that measures, calculates, or evaluates—bringing it back into proper alignment with a standard.
Instruments and sensors require periodic recalibration to maintain accuracy.
The term extends beyond physical devices to attitudes, expectations, and approaches: After the project failed, the team needed a recalibration of their goals.
A recalibration acknowledges that conditions have changed and current settings no longer produce reliable results.
