Highlights from this day
- fasting_insulin — unrelated but the point of the standard is that it applies to suppliers we like as well as ones we do not 18:42
- no_chargeback — verification is revoked on a confirmed failure and the revocation stays in the log permanently 20:35
- pharmac_pen — update from 3 months ago: Homopeptide added evidence and the entry now reflects it 21:37
- pharmac_pen — two labs disagree on the same lot, which one goes in the log update from 22 months ago: QSC added evidence and the entry now reflects it 21:39

quick one what does not count: the supplier certificate alone, a screenshot, a referral link, or a friend who says it was fine
nothing gets deleted from the log, including our own mistakes, thats one data point
refresh on evidence
right so why is a referral link disqualifying rather than just ignored
if you want to help, buy a lot, test it, and post the report with the lot number. that is the whole contribution
for the archive a good result with bad sample handling gets logged with a note about the handling. context is part of the record, still working it out
how do you handle a result that is good but the sample handling was poor
a lot number mismatch between the vial and the certificate is a serious finding. post it with photos of both
does a good result from Janoshik outweigh a bad one from Medutest
right so we refresh on new evidence, not on a clock. an old verification with no recent results says so on the entry

verification is revoked on a confirmed failure and the revocation stays in the log permanently
| 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 |

thats evidence
[edited]how many independent results does a supplier need
blinded submissions carry more weight because they remove a variable, not because we distrust the labs
thats not evidence
