"As currently used in information technology, to drill down (verb) is to focus in on something. A drilldown (noun) is the act of focusing in. The term is sometimes used when referring to moving down through a hierarchy of folders and files in a file system like that of Windows. It may also mean clicking through a series of dropdown menus in a graphical user interface.

In a particularly intransigent mediation a technique a mediator may consider using is a method I call "drilldown." The graphic term "drilldown" affords a visual concept of the technique. In a mediation the joint session is when the facts and issues emerge. In the caucuses the parties’ motivations to settle emerge. Thus, it is in these two phases of mediation, that drilldown is an effective tool for the mediator." Joseph Dean Klatt
