systematically
Following a pattern
Systematically means in a methodical, organized manner that follows a deliberate plan or system.
When you approach something systematically, you work through it step by step rather than haphazardly: We systematically checked every room in the house.
The word often implies thoroughness and persistence, sometimes with negative connotations when describing oppression or abuse: The regime systematically violated human rights.
It contrasts with randomly or sporadically.
