scrutiny
This word is typically used as an uncountable noun, meaning you generally do not say "scrutinies." It is a formal word often found in news reports, legal documents, or academic writing. It suggests a very deep and careful look, rather than a quick glance. It is most commonly paired with adjectives like "intense," "close," or "careful" to describe how thorough the examination is.
