Swedish term

tankeanalys

Swedish to English Social Sciences Psychology
From a response to a survey about medical equipment: "Det finns alltid saker som kan förbättras, men det kan jag bara peka på efter en tankeanalys."

You'll make my day if you can answer this without reverting to any fancy philosophical/philological/Franco-philosophical Foucaultian fol-de-rol. But if you absolutely have to draw contrasts to "discursive analysis" and the like, please be gentle on my tired synapses.

thorough consideration

It's very tempting to get into Foucaultian fol-de-rol, but it really seems from the context you have given that this is simply a complicated way of saying "I'd have to think about it more before I could give you a meaningful answer".

or just 'after thoughtful analysis'
Note from asker:
Thanks, Michele. I had something like that in mind already, but then I found some philo-fol-de-rol that gave me pause. I'll wait a bit longer to see what comes over the transom on this one.
