if you want to help, buy a lot, test it, and post the report with the lot number. that is the whole contribution

Highlights from this day
- triple_ag_tom — what counts: an independent report, on a lot you bought yourself, with the lot number, from a lab the room recognises 14:37
- triple_ag_tom — slightly off topic but we have never revoked on a single result. we have revoked on a pattern 16:12
- meniscus_mel — coming back to this what does not count: the supplier certificate alone, a screenshot, a referral link, or a friend who says it was fine 16:27
- triple_ag_tom — update on the earlier thing update from 2 months ago: SWB added evidence and the entry now reflects it 16:36

both numbers go in
post the photos
a good result with bad sample handling gets logged with a note about the handling. context is part of the record, n of 1 obviously
a lot number mismatch between the vial and the certificate is a serious finding. post it with photos of both
slightly off topic but we have never revoked on a single result. we have revoked on a pattern

blinded submissions carry more weight because they remove a variable, not because we distrust the labs
blinded is better
for the archive if the evidence is thin the entry says the evidence is thin. that is more useful than a score
the point of the standard is that it applies to suppliers we like as well as ones we do not
revoked stays in the log
what happens to the log entry when a supplier improves
coming back to this what does not count: the supplier certificate alone, a screenshot, a referral link, or a friend who says it was fine
we refresh on new evidence, not on a clock. an old verification with no recent results says so on the entry
update on the earlier thing update from 2 months ago: SWB added evidence and the entry now reflects it
a verified supplier can still ship you a bad vial. verification is about the record, not about your parcel
two labs a point or two apart on one lot is normal. both go in the log with both numbers
