Highlights from this day
- hair_month_four — genuine question if you want to help, buy a lot, test it, and post the report with the lot number. that is the whole contribution 18:18
- hair_month_four — blinded submissions carry more weight because they remove a variable, not because we distrust the labs 18:22
- marrow.mod — a lot number mismatch between the vial and the certificate is a serious finding. post it with photos of both 19:23
nothing gets deleted from the log, including our own mistakes
not a recommendation
we have never revoked on a single result. we have revoked on a pattern
a referral link is disqualifying because it makes the reporter an interested party. that is all
what actually counts as evidence for a verification

does a supplier certificate on its own count for anything
post the photos
thats not evidence
pattern not one result
we refresh on new evidence, not on a clock. an old verification with no recent results says so on the entry
refresh on evidence
a lot number mismatch between the vial and the certificate is a serious finding. post it with photos of both
