Usage Note

Minuciosamente derives from minucioso (meticulous, thorough) + -mente. It stresses careful attention to the smallest details and is used in formal and written registers. The shorter phrase con minuciosidad or con detalle is preferred in speech. It is not ironic in Spanish the way 'meticulously' can occasionally be in English.

Examples
