SDV is its own axis, not a stage
The monitor works from a queue of unverified data; editing a verified value clears the mark by itself and sends it back to the queue.

The essentials
An independent status axis
Signing does not require completed SDV, and SDV does not require a signature. The status is computed from coverage, not toggled by hand.
Risk-based
ICH E6 asks to check what is critical, not everything. The monitor verifies by field and by form; coverage is visible per subject, visit and site.
“Changed after SDV” is visible
Editing a verified value is a state of its own, not a silent rollback. The monitor sees what exactly changed and why.
A monitoring visit
- 01QueueOnly what is unverified or changed after SDV — by site and visit.
- 02VerifyThe value next to its history; mark a field or a whole form.
- 03DiscrepancyA query right at the field, the site’s answer in the query register.
- 04ReportThe SDV register is produced as an export-log document.

What happens to SDV when a value is edited?
The mark is cleared by the system and the value returns to the monitor’s queue as “changed after SDV”.
Can verification be partial?
Yes: by field or by form; coverage is visible on the subject, visit and site.
