systematizing
Creating methodical structure
Systematizing is organizing something into a coherent system or method.
It implies bringing order to scattered elements—creating categories, establishing procedures, developing frameworks: She spent months systematizing the company's filing practices.
The word suggests deliberate, methodical arrangement rather than casual tidying.
