extensively
Adverb

This adverb describes a high degree of coverage, depth, or scale. It is frequently used in academic, professional, and journalistic registers to indicate that a subject has been explored thoroughly or that a physical area is widely affected. It suggests a comprehensive approach rather than a superficial one.

When comparing it to "widely," "extensively" often implies a greater level of detail or intensity. For example, while a product may be "widely available" (distributed in many places), a topic is "extensively researched" (studied in great depth). It carries a connotation of rigor and exhaustive effort.
