How it's used

Use it when describing a process that has been thoroughly vetted or a strategy that covers all bases.

Common phrases

Common mistake

Learners often confuse this with 細心, which describes a person's personality trait of being attentive to detail. 周詳 is almost exclusively used to describe plans, arrangements, or considerations rather than the character of a person.
