Model verification is an integral part of the model validation process and aims to ensure that the model calculates what it intends to calculate. The TECHnical VERification (TECH-VER) checklist aims to provide a documenting framework to improve efficiency in the model verification efforts and to help identify modeling errors and their root causes in a systematic way.

The TECH-VER checklist presents an objective, transparent way to assist the end user of the model in forming a judgment on the model’s verification status, with the end-goal to improve trust from various stakeholders (e.g. patients, payers) in the model outcomes in health technology assessment decision-making processes.
