Points sooner towards detection?

I had to search for 'premature' because I wasn't sure about using the word precocious. (wrong word) Yet, premature /Occurring, growing, or existing before the customary, correct, or assigned time; uncommonly or unexpectedly early: a premature end./
and
Precocious /
Manifesting or characterized by unusually early development or maturity, especially in mental aptitude. Blossoming before the appearance of leaves./

are in meaning rather close.
