titrating
Adding drops carefully
Titrating is the present participle of titrate, a chemistry term for gradually adding one solution to another until a reaction reaches its endpoint—typically shown by a color change.
The process determines concentration or achieves a precise chemical balance.
By extension, titrating describes any careful, incremental adjustment: She's been titrating her medication dosage, titrating the workload to avoid burnout.
