Digest for the week of 2024-01-07 has been published.
thats not evidence
log it either way
not a recommendation
blinded submissions carry more weight because they remove a variable, not because we distrust the labs, still working it out
for the archive what counts: an independent report, on a lot you bought yourself, with the lot number, from a lab the room recognises
pattern not one result
| Evidence | Counts? |
|---|---|
| Independent report, lot you bought, lot number legible | yes |
| Independent report, no lot number | no |
| Supplier certificate only | no |
| Screenshot of a report | no |
| Blinded pooled submission | yes, for the pool |
| A friend who said it was fine | no |
right so a supplier improving shows in the log as later entries, not as earlier entries being edited
the point of the standard is that it applies to suppliers we like as well as ones we do not
nothing gets deleted from the log, including our own mistakes
verification has never been for sale and never will be. offers get posted publicly with the sender redacted
do blinded submissions carry more weight than open ones
the lot number on the certificate does not match my vial, what now
| Evidence | Counts? |
|---|---|
| Independent report, lot you bought, lot number legible | yes |
| Independent report, no lot number | no |
| Supplier certificate only | no |
| Screenshot of a report | no |
| Blinded pooled submission | yes, for the pool |
| A friend who said it was fine | no |
what happens to the log entry when a supplier improves
🤝15
the log is readable chronologically and that is deliberate. the trajectory matters more than the current line
if the evidence is thin the entry says the evidence is thin. that is more useful than a score
blinded is better
two labs a point or two apart on one lot is normal. both go in the log with both numbers
