I would not use the word "validation" here, I personally associate it with econometrics. Currently I have no good suggestion for alternatives. (Spying? Researching? Refining information sets?)

That's likely a better word for it; I'm thinking of a model of, e.g., background checks in gun control. You observe information on the applicant's sanity given the applicant's signal but then use the FBI as a third-party verification system
