How deep do you actually go when researching a new position

I’m curious about everyone’s research process. When you’re looking into a company, what level do you usually stop at?

Do you mostly stay at the **sector** level (e.g., Technology or Energy)

Or do you feel the need to go deep into the specific **industry** for every single ticker (looking at niche competitors, specific supply chains, industry-specific regulations, etc.)?

I’m trying to figure out if going that deep is actually worth the extra time, or if staying at the sector level is enough for most people. What’s your approach?
