granular
In a physical sense, "granular" describes things you can feel as small grains, like sand or salt. In business or technology, it is used metaphorically to mean "very detailed." When someone asks for "granular detail," they want the smallest possible pieces of information rather than a general summary.

my prof says my analysis isn't granular enough. i'm literally losing it.
Maya
stop spiraling and just break down the data more. you're overthinking it.
💡
Chloe uses 'granular' in an academic context to mean lacking sufficient detail. Maya uses the phrasal verb 'break down' as a synonym for making something more granular, while using 'spiraling' (slang for losing emotional control) to reflect her blunt personality.
