How about assiduously?
Showing great care and perseverance

I would suggest exhaustive.
Including or considering all elements or aspects; fully comprehensive:
the guide outlines every bus route in exhaustive detail
including all possibilities : very thorough
Another word that comes to mind is scrutinize which is a verb.
to examine (something) carefully especially in a critical way
Examine or inspect closely and thoroughly
But you can also say:
...in a scrutinizing way
