9. The system of claim 8 , wherein the determining whether the first user and/or system input triggers the error includes:

determining whether the electronic checklist is being performed properly based on one or more data structure(s) and/or one or more function(s) from a loadable database and the first user and/or system input.

10. The system of claim 9 , wherein the one or more data structure(s) and/or the one or more function(s) from the loadable database include, for the electronic checklist, proper execution information, the proper execution information including information indicating a sequence of completion of the electronic checklist.

11. The system of claim 10 , wherein the determining whether the electronic checklist is being performed properly includes:

determining which task(s) of the electronic checklist have been completed, indicating one or more tasks have been completed;

comparing the one or more tasks that have been completed to the sequence of completion; and

determining whether the sequence of completion is being followed based on the comparison.

12. The system of claim 11 , wherein the determining whether the sequence of completion or the required tasks for completion are being followed based on the comparison includes:

determining a sequence of completed tasks for the one or more tasks that have been completed based on the one or more tasks that have been completed and associated times of user inputs and/or system inputs for the one or more tasks; and

determining whether the sequence of completed tasks is different from the sequence of completion; and

in response to determining the sequence of completed tasks is different from the sequence of completion, determine that the error is triggered.

13. The system of claim 8 , wherein the error message includes visual indication(s) and/or notification(s) near tasks associated with the error, the visual indication(s) include a change in status indicator for the tasks.

14. The system of claim 13 , wherein the displaying the error message on the GUI includes emphasizing the tasks associated with the error by performing one or a combination of:

bold and/or italicize on text or symbols associated with the tasks associated with the error, and/or

dimming a background of not completed tasks and/or non-required tasks.

15. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform a method for automatic cross-checking of an electronic checklist, the method comprising:
