- never_for_sale — follow up the mods maintain the log. the room supplies the evidence and argues about it, which is the correct division 02:07
- never_for_sale — blinded submissions carry more weight because they remove a variable, not because we distrust the labs 02:11
is there a version of the log i can read chronologically
two labs disagree on the same lot, which one goes in the log
if the evidence is thin the entry says the evidence is thin. that is more useful than a score
a referral link is disqualifying because it makes the reporter an interested party. that is all
does a supplier certificate on its own count for anything
a supplier improving shows in the log as later entries, not as earlier entries being edited
how long does a verification stay current before it needs refreshing
coming back after 12 months, has the standard changed
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

lot number or nothing
follow up the mods maintain the log. the room supplies the evidence and argues about it, which is the correct division
thats not evidence
what actually counts as evidence for a verification
blinded submissions carry more weight because they remove a variable, not because we distrust the labs
