reformulating

Expressing thoughts differently

Reformulating is restating or reworking something in a different form.

A scientist reformulating a hypothesis adjusts it based on new evidence.

A company reformulating a product changes its ingredients or composition: They're reformulating the recipe to remove artificial sweeteners.

The word often implies improvement or adaptation rather than starting from scratch.
