Signification
To examine something very carefully.
Contexte culturel
The Dutch value 'nuchterheid' (pragmatism). A 'grondige analyse' is seen as the antidote to emotional or impulsive decisions. Flemish business culture is also formal, but might use 'uitvoeren' slightly more often than 'maken' in very high-level academic contexts. In Dutch offices, saying you are making a 'grondige analyse' is a way to claim 'ownership' and 'expertise' over a topic. Dutch universities emphasize critical thinking. Students are graded on their ability to move beyond description to 'grondige analyse'.
Use it in your CV

Don't over-analyze
If you use this phrase for something simple like choosing a pizza, Dutch people will think you are being sarcastic or very 'over the top'.
