the log is readable chronologically and that is deliberate. the trajectory matters more than the current line

Highlights from this day
- vial_ledger — the mods maintain the log. the room supplies the evidence and argues about it, which is the correct division 21:31
- is_this_forever — is the verification log the same thing as a recommendation 21:48
- noct.titrate — a referral link is disqualifying because it makes the reporter an interested party. that is all, still working it out 22:00
- no_escrow_nate — does a supplier certificate on its own count for anything 22:32
what counts: an independent report, on a lot you bought yourself, with the lot number, from a lab the room recognises, still working it out
coming back after 17 months, has the standard changed

verification is not a recommendation. it means the evidence standard has been met, nothing more, i could be wrong

two labs disagree on the same lot, which one goes in the log
if the evidence is thin the entry says the evidence is thin. that is more useful than a score
thats not evidence
is the verification log the same thing as a recommendation

somebody once offered to fund the testing programme in exchange for an entry. the offer is in the log
both numbers go in
the lot number on the certificate does not match my vial, what now
nothing gets deleted
blinded submissions carry more weight because they remove a variable, not because we distrust the labs
verification has never been for sale and never will be. offers get posted publicly with the sender redacted
a referral link is disqualifying because it makes the reporter an interested party. that is all, still working it out

thats evidence
a verified supplier can still ship you a bad vial. verification is about the record, not about your parcel
is_this_foreverif the evidence is thin the entry says the evidence is thin. that is more useful than…
does a supplier certificate on its own count for anything

a good result with bad sample handling gets logged with a note about the handling. context is part of the record
i have a result but i did not buy the lot myself, does that count
two labs a point or two apart on one lot is normal. both go in the log with both numbers
a lot number mismatch between the vial and the certificate is a serious finding. post it with photos of both
verification is revoked on a confirmed failure and the revocation stays in the log permanently
Reminder set. I will post here in 3 days.
