Description
Require nonempty signedVersion and requiredVersion, compare their exact strings, and format the quoted pair.
Recorded permissions are metadata with a declared scope, purpose, audience, and withdrawal status. Boolean consistency checks can expose gaps without establishing valid authorization.
Require nonempty signedVersion and requiredVersion, compare their exact strings, and format the quoted pair.
When to use this tool
Use Consent Signed Version Pair when you need to compare supplied permission or disclosure records.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter signedVersion, requiredVersion. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.

"input": {
"signedVersion": "v2",
"requiredVersion": "v3"
},
"output": {
"matches": false,
"label": "signed=\"v2\"; required=\"v3\""
}
}Limitations and assumptions
- A version match does not prove an authentic signature, comprehension, capacity, current consent, or authorization for a research activity.
- Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Review the original consent record and applicable policy with the responsible professional before relying on a permission flag.
