Highlights from this day
- night_pin — a good result with bad sample handling gets logged with a note about the handling. context is part of the record 16:26
- night_pin — who decides, the mods or the room 17:07
- night_pin — what counts: an independent report, on a lot you bought yourself, with the lot number, from a lab the room recognises, ill dig out the number 17:38
- relabel_watch — update from 10 months ago: SWB added evidence and the entry now reflects it 17:51
update on the earlier thing why is a referral link disqualifying rather than just ignored

| 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 |
both numbers go in
while im here how many independent results does a supplier need
who decides, the mods or the room

a verified supplier can still ship you a bad vial. verification is about the record, not about your parcel
what counts: an independent report, on a lot you bought yourself, with the lot number, from a lab the room recognises, ill dig out the number
post the photos
do blinded submissions carry more weight than open ones
update from 10 months ago: SWB added evidence and the entry now reflects it
never for sale
what does not count: the supplier certificate alone, a screenshot, a referral link, or a friend who says it was fine
a lot number mismatch between the vial and the certificate is a serious finding. post it with photos of both
