what counts: an independent report, on a lot you bought yourself, with the lot number, from a lab the room recognises
has verification ever been reinstated after a revocation
the log is readable chronologically and that is deliberate. the trajectory matters more than the current line
we have never revoked on a single result. we have revoked on a pattern
is the verification log the same thing as a recommendation
why is a referral link disqualifying rather than just ignored

two labs a point or two apart on one lot is normal. both go in the log with both numbers, ask me again in a month
verification is not a recommendation. it means the evidence standard has been met, nothing more
✅6🧊4
a verified supplier can still ship you a bad vial. verification is about the record, not about your parcel
😂5💀3
how does a supplier get verification revoked
the mods maintain the log. the room supplies the evidence and argues about it, which is the correct division
nothing gets deleted

update from 8 months ago: KP added evidence and the entry now reflects it
❤️3📈1
lot number or nothing
if the evidence is thin the entry says the evidence is thin. that is more useful than a score
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
coming back after 21 months, has the standard changed
⚠️9👀12❤️6
the point of the standard is that it applies to suppliers we like as well as ones we do not

not a recommendation

how many independent results does a supplier need
i have watched this standard hold for three years including when it was inconvenient for a popular supplier
who decides, the mods or the room
what actually counts as evidence for a verification
genuine question does QYB being verified mean my vial is fine
unrelated but a lot number mismatch between the vial and the certificate is a serious finding. post it with photos of both
thats not evidence

post the photos
sorry to jump in two labs disagree on the same lot, which one goes in the log
a good result with bad sample handling gets logged with a note about the handling. context is part of the record
both numbers go in
is there a version of the log i can read chronologically
Verification log updated: SWB — evidence added, status unchanged.
