What is a word that can describe something that covers all of the situations or edge cases

including everything or everyone

An all-encompassing approach.
Exhaustive is a possibility here.

Generally, I would use comprehensive here. A comprehensive approach to something basically means an all-inclusive approach. But I suppose one may want to make a distinction between a method that includes everything that bears on a single case, and one that is broadly applicable over a domain of cases.
The best bet is probably umbrella model.
It comes with the dubious blessing of a PR firm -
Now, with the Umbrella Model of Public Relations, we have a way to solve those challenges. The model (developed by Game Changer Communications president Jason Sprenger) visually represents the entire spectrum of how people and organizations communicate with their stakeholders and build, maintain and grow relationships with them.
This depiction helps people less familiar with PR understand what it is and how it can deliver value. It also serves as a roadmap to help professionals explore what kinds of communications activities and elements could add value as part of a holistic PR program.
And they aren't about to leave anything to the imagination, either -
