update from 7 months ago: retested the same supplier, result came back better, logged both

Highlights from this day
- reading_the_pins — if the vial has been through a bad transit you are testing the transit as much as the supplier 20:12
- batch_bandit — follow up my sheet has 3 lots from SWB with a spread under a point, which is tight 21:12
- a1c_lag — post the lot, the purchase month, the lab, the number, and what you were expecting. that makes it useful later if you are testing to settle an argument you will not… 22:01
- peak_split — one bad test does not condemn a supplier. one good test does not clear one. both halves get ignored equally 22:23
log the lot number
when did you buy it
anyone had a result they think was a lab error rather than a bad vial
quantity testing is usually a separate line item and it is the one worth paying for
if the vial has been through a bad transit you are testing the transit as much as the supplier

log the boring ones
how do you separate batch variance from supplier variance
coming back to this a single sample tells you about a single vial. that is genuinely all it tells you, your mileage will differ
how do you post a result so it is actually useful to somebody in a year
is quantity testing available as a separate thing or bundled
follow up my sheet has 3 lots from SWB with a spread under a point, which is tight
for the archive a supplier disputing a result is rare here and it has never gone well for the supplier
post the lot, the purchase month, the lab, the number, and what you were expecting. that makes it useful later
if you are testing to settle an argument you will not settle it with n of 1
one bad test does not condemn a supplier. one good test does not clear one. both halves get ignored equally
