shrewdly
In calculating fashion
Shrewdly means in a way that shows sharp judgment and practical cunning.
Someone who acts shrewdly sizes up a situation and makes clever, calculated decisions: She shrewdly negotiated a better deal.
The word often carries a note of admiration for someone's savvy, though it can suggest self-serving calculation.
