wrong. It's Harry Potter VI!
I would have thought atomistic - consideration of the individual small parts of a system rather than the whole.
But anyone that uses the word holistic can be safely ignored anyway IMHO 😉
In some cases reductionist may work too... depends on the usage really. For example you could say "we decided to take a holistic approach to X in contrast to <that other lot that wrote the previous paper> who took a very reductionist view in our opinion".
Holistic = dealing with the whole
Specific = dealing with some particular bit
