retweaking

Adjusting once more

Retweaking is adjusting or refining something that has already been tweaked—a second or subsequent round of fine-tuning.

The prefix signals repetition: After testing, the formula needed retweaking.

Common in technical, creative, and DIY contexts where getting something right requires iterative adjustments: I spent the weekend retweaking my resume.
