Highlights from this day
- point_two_five — i have watched this standard hold for three years including when it was inconvenient for a popular supplier 16:03
- point_two_five — two labs disagree on the same lot, which one goes in the log 16:33
- evidence_or_not — the lot number on the certificate does not match my vial, what now 17:34
refresh on evidence
how do you handle a result that is good but the sample handling was poor
does a good result from Medutest outweigh a bad one from Janoshik
what happens to the log entry when a supplier improves
📉1🔥1
*Janoshik not the other one
is a screenshot of a report ever acceptable

genuine question who decides, the mods or the room
how does a supplier get verification revoked

a verified supplier can still ship you a bad vial. verification is about the record, not about your parcel
lot number or nothing
follow up coming back after 19 months, has the standard changed

two labs disagree on the same lot, which one goes in the log
👍10🙏14🎉15
for the archive the mods maintain the log. the room supplies the evidence and argues about it, which is the correct division
we have never revoked on a single result. we have revoked on a pattern, someone check my working
how many independent results does a supplier need
update from 9 months ago: BCH added evidence and the entry now reflects it
log it either way
📉10🙏8🧊11
why is a referral link disqualifying rather than just ignored
does a supplier certificate on its own count for anything
what actually counts as evidence for a verification
a lot number mismatch between the vial and the certificate is a serious finding. post it with photos of both
what does not count: the supplier certificate alone, a screenshot, a referral link, or a friend who says it was fine, your mileage will differ
what counts: an independent report, on a lot you bought yourself, with the lot number, from a lab the room recognises
the lot number on the certificate does not match my vial, what now

blinded is better
if you want to help, buy a lot, test it, and post the report with the lot number. that is the whole contribution
has verification ever been reinstated after a revocation
genuine question if the evidence is thin the entry says the evidence is thin. that is more useful than a score

i have a result but i did not buy the lot myself, does that count
revoked stays in the log
verification is revoked on a confirmed failure and the revocation stays in the log permanently
blinded submissions carry more weight because they remove a variable, not because we distrust the labs
⚠️16
two labs a point or two apart on one lot is normal. both go in the log with both numbers, n of 1 obviously
do blinded submissions carry more weight than open ones
slightly off topic but has anyone ever offered to pay for verification
post the photos
⚠️8🎉1🧪9
both numbers go in
we refresh on new evidence, not on a clock. an old verification with no recent results says so on the entry
verification has never been for sale and never will be. offers get posted publicly with the sender redacted
