feeding back
Returning output upstream
Feeding back is the act of returning information, results, or signals to their source.
In technical contexts, it describes output being routed back into a system as input: The microphone was feeding back through the speakers, creating that awful squeal.
More broadly, it means providing response or evaluation: I've been feeding back my concerns to management for months.
