First usage[edit]
Does someone know when this word was first used in the English language? It sounds very much like a more recent business term rather than proper English.

Isn't this word "just" an alternative form of double check?[edit]
Shouldn't this word instead be labeled as "Alternative form of double check" (as double check seems to be the primary form)?

- Traditionally verbs like this were usually hyphenated, while nouns were not. People are sloppier about that now. Equinox ◑ 21:23, 16 April 2017 (UTC)
