usefully
In helpful fashion
Usefully means in a way that serves a purpose or provides benefit: She usefully pointed out the error before we submitted.
The word often appears in contexts where something contributes practical value: The extra time was usefully spent reviewing the contract.
It can also soften claims about modest contributions: I can't solve it, but I can usefully narrow down the options.
