Best Powershell verb to indicate validation?

I often have a method that checks for a specific value. In powershell, the convention is to use the verb in the list "get-verb", but I'm puzzled as to which would be better for this use.

Alternatively, if my design architecture needs to change to avoid method validation in a different way, I'd welcome suggestions along that line too.

Verbs that are roughly related to each other: provide, compare, edit, convert, initialize, update, assert, confirm, measure, resolve, check, write, provide, use.
