I believe the answer is:

precision

'exactness' is the definition.
(I know that precision is a type of exactness)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for precision that I've seen before include "Accuracy, exactness" , "Care" , "Meticulousness" , "Exactitude" , "Exactness, sharpness" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
