Highlights from this day
- comment_fatigue — how long does a verification stay current before it needs refreshing 14:20
- comment_fatigue — sorry to jump in a supplier improving shows in the log as later entries, not as earlier entries being edited 14:25
- constipation_con — how do you handle a result that is good but the sample handling was poor 15:30
- half_life_hal — genuine question if the evidence is thin the entry says the evidence is thin. that is more useful than a score 18:00
two labs a point or two apart on one lot is normal. both go in the log with both numbers

how long does a verification stay current before it needs refreshing
| 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 |

verification is revoked on a confirmed failure and the revocation stays in the log permanently, i think
why is a referral link disqualifying rather than just ignored
i have a result but i did not buy the lot myself, does that count
not a recommendation
verification has never been for sale and never will be. offers get posted publicly with the sender redacted
pattern not one result
lot number or nothing

a verified supplier can still ship you a bad vial. verification is about the record, not about your parcel
how do you handle a result that is good but the sample handling was poor

a good result with bad sample handling gets logged with a note about the handling. context is part of the record
[edited]post the photos
coming back after 9 months, has the standard changed
for the archive we have never revoked on a single result. we have revoked on a pattern, anyway
has verification ever been reinstated after a revocation
thats evidence
what happens to the log entry when a supplier improves
blinded is better
Recon calculator: 20mg in 3ml = 10mg/ml.

blinded submissions carry more weight because they remove a variable, not because we distrust the labs

refresh on evidence
is a screenshot of a report ever acceptable
two labs disagree on the same lot, which one goes in the log
*Janoshik not the other one
coming back to this the lot number on the certificate does not match my vial, what now
does a supplier certificate on its own count for anything
verification is not a recommendation. it means the evidence standard has been met, nothing more
thin evidence

quick one a referral link is disqualifying because it makes the reporter an interested party. that is all
how does a supplier get verification revoked
genuine question if the evidence is thin the entry says the evidence is thin. that is more useful than a score
😂18
do blinded submissions carry more weight than open ones
nothing gets deleted
revoked stays in the log
