Data verification is the step that directly handles confirming data accuracy. It’s the process of review and validation: checking that every field is correct, comparing entered information to source documents or system records, and catching discrepancies before the data is used to fulfill an order or drive a task. This focus on correctness is what makes it the best fit here—verification is specifically about ensuring accuracy, not just capturing data or moving to the next service step. For example, you’d verify customer name, address, item codes, quantities, and prices against the original order or catalog. If something doesn’t match, you correct it before proceeding. Other steps are about data entry, communication with the customer, or completing the task, but they don’t center on confirming correctness in the same way.
