خلفية ثقافية
Norwegians value 'grundighet' (thoroughness). This phrase is a perfect way to express that value. Similar idioms exist in Swedish ('vända på varje sten') and Danish ('vende hver en sten'). The stone metaphor is common across many European languages, reflecting a shared history of agricultural and rural life. In business, it is used to show that you have done your due diligence.
