scoped

Looked over thoroughly

Scoped describes something that has been given defined limits or boundaries.

In project management, a scoped project has clear parameters about what it will and won't include.

In programming, scoped variables exist only within specific blocks of code.

To have scoped something out is to have assessed or surveyed it: We scoped the competition before launching.
