I can see how that may be confusing. Define "tag process".
There is no "process", the "tag" is the touching of the runner or batter-runner with the ball while securely held in the hand or glove.
There is no requirement, by rule or definition to maintain subsequent control for any period of time once the tag is executed.
If the ball is lost at the time of the tag, obviously the ball was not securely held. If lost after the time of the tag, the runner or batter-runner is out.
