Definition
Validation state describes the current level of confirmation that a process, system or solution remains compliant with requirements and retains its validated status.
Human Explanation
It shows whether the solution is still validated.
Why it Matters
Changes, deviations or missing required actions may cause the validated state to be lost.
Conceptual Boundary
Validation state is neither one document nor a one-time decision; it is a maintained organisational condition.
Practical Perspective
It should be monitored throughout the solution lifecycle.
