LN

verification is revoked on a confirmed failure and the revocation stays in the log permanently

if the evidence is thin the entry says the evidence is thin. that is more useful than a score

verification has never been for sale and never will be. offers get posted publicly with the sender redacted

LN

if you want to help, buy a lot, test it, and post the report with the lot number. that is the whole contribution

SF

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

MM

coming back to this has anyone ever offered to pay for verification

the lot number on the certificate does not match my vial, what now

NP

i have watched this standard hold for three years including when it was inconvenient for a popular supplier, from memory

NP

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

MM

the log is readable chronologically and that is deliberate. the trajectory matters more than the current line

LN

what does not count: the supplier certificate alone, a screenshot, a referral link, or a friend who says it was fine

LN

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

nothing gets deleted

what happens to the log entry when a supplier improves

has verification ever been reinstated after a revocation
