prechecking
Verifying before proceeding
Prechecking is verifying or inspecting something before a main process begins.
Airlines precheck passengers for security clearance, allowing expedited screening: With TSA PreCheck, I kept my shoes on.
Forms may have boxes prechecked by default.
The prefix pre- emphasizes that the checking happens in advance: We're prechecking the equipment before the event.
