Highlights from this day

still_here_2024 — coming back to this a supplier improving shows in the log as later entries, not as earlier entries being edited 04:28
gip_glp_gil — a lot number mismatch between the vial and the certificate is a serious finding. post it with photos of both 05:14
elm_escalates — verification has never been for sale and never will be. offers get posted publicly with the sender redacted, still working it out 05:16
pbs_pip — a good result with bad sample handling gets logged with a note about the handling. context is part of the record 05:36
elm_escalates — we have never revoked on a single result. we have revoked on a pattern 08:06

coming back to this a supplier improving shows in the log as later entries, not as earlier entries being edited

not a recommendation

👀1🤝12📉1

still_here_2024 04:53

does a supplier certificate on its own count for anything

gip_glp_gil 04:54

a verified supplier can still ship you a bad vial. verification is about the record, not about your parcel

elm_escalates 04:58

is the verification log the same thing as a recommendation

gip_glp_gil 04:59

refresh on evidence

gip_glp_gil 05:14

a lot number mismatch between the vial and the certificate is a serious finding. post it with photos of both

pbs_pip 05:15

lot number or nothing

verification has never been for sale and never will be. offers get posted publicly with the sender redacted, still working it out

pbs_pip 05:36

a good result with bad sample handling gets logged with a note about the handling. context is part of the record

elm_escalates 05:43

is a screenshot of a report ever acceptable

still_here_2024 not a recommendation

elm_escalates 07:22

why is a referral link disqualifying rather than just ignored

thats not evidence

post the photos

tokyo_taper 07:30

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

gip_glp_gil 07:32

how long does a verification stay current before it needs refreshing

elm_escalates 08:06

we have never revoked on a single result. we have revoked on a pattern

rezept_rolf 08:08

nothing gets deleted

tokyo_taper 08:11

the mods maintain the log. the room supplies the evidence and argues about it, which is the correct division

*PeptideMeter not the other one

somebody once offered to fund the testing programme in exchange for an entry. the offer is in the log

pbs_pip 08:16

ok so two labs a point or two apart on one lot is normal. both go in the log with both numbers
