accuracy check
Confirming something's correct
An accuracy check is a verification process to confirm that information, measurements, or work products are correct and free from error.
The term appears across many fields—data entry, scientific research, journalism, accounting—wherever precision matters: Run an accuracy check before submitting the report.
In tabletop gaming, particularly Dungeons & Dragons, an accuracy check determines whether an attack hits its target.
