I totally agree, @mark-mazay. I’ve been on both QA and product teams, and I’d add this: if we fine-tune the definition for verification, it’s like doing quality control against a blueprint — ticking off whether what we’ve built aligns with the design and tech specs. Validation, however, is much more outcome-focused. It’s where the rubber meets the road — we ask users, ‘Does this solve your problem?’ So, in short: verification ensures correctness, validation ensures relevance.
