<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">close examination</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this before)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for scrutiny that I've seen before include "Close investigation" , "City runs (anag.)" , "Detailed perusal" , "A careful look or examination" , "Close, careful examination" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian, The Times and the Sydney Morning Herald.
