Italian

(idiomatic) on the case, on point
- 2020, Barack Obama, chapter 7, in Chicca Galli, Paolo Lucca, Giuseppe Maugeri, transl., Una terra promessa [A Promised Land], Garzanti Libri:
  La colpa fu in massima parte mia e del mio team: avevamo mandato Michelle in tour senza un discorso scritto, senza le sedute di preparazione e i briefing di cui disponevo io ogni volta, senza cioè tutta l'infrastruttura che mi teneva organizzato e sempre sul pezzo.
  My team and I largely deserved the blame; we'd put Michelle on the road without the speechwriting, prep sessions, and briefers that I had at all times, the infrastructure that kept me organized and on point.
  (literally, “The blame was in large part on me and my team: we had sent Michelle on tour without a written speech, without the preparation sessions and the briefings that I had every time, without that is to say the infrastructure that kept me organized and always on point.”)
