Clarification about "held at" usage

Every time I see the prepositional phrase held at being used, it is somehow related to a physical location. Suppose I'm in a process comprising many stages, is it possible/idiomatic to use the held at in the following way ?

The validation of the data provided will be held at stage X in the validation process.

Any advice regarding my question as well as any other suitable option will be appreciated.

Solution 1:

You apparently mean done, not kept in pending.

Though a rather inappropriate use, here the word held seems to mean carried out.

From the context, it is not very clear if you are writing, or referring to someone else's writing. If it's yours, and you mean carried out, then I suggest you say so instead.

The validation of the data provided will be carried out (or simply, done) at stage X in the validation process.

Solution 2:

There are numerous definitions for held (past participle of hold), but the one you reference seems to be the following (definition 8)

[with object] arrange and take part in (a meeting or conversation): a meeting was held at the church

Similarly (again, definition 8)

a: to assemble for and carry on the activity of: held a convention

b: to cause to be carried on : conduct: will hold a seminar

c: to produce or sponsor especially as a public exhibition: will hold an art show

This sense is specifically directed to an interaction between or among people, not a process relating to other objects.
