I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'scrutinised any deals that are wrong' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'any deals that are wrong' is the wordplay.
'that are wrong' indicates an anagram.
'any'+'deals'='anydeals'
'anydeals' with letters rearranged gives 'ANALYSED'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for analysed that I've seen before include "Determined the constituent parts" , "Traced (something) to its source or cause" , "Examined in detail the structure of something" , "Broken down" .)
