what actually counts as evidence for a verification
👍4
the mods maintain the log. the room supplies the evidence and argues about it, which is the correct division
pattern not one result
verification has never been for sale and never will be. offers get posted publicly with the sender redacted

nothing gets deleted from the log, including our own mistakes
a lot number mismatch between the vial and the certificate is a serious finding. post it with photos of both
refresh on evidence

right so verification is revoked on a confirmed failure and the revocation stays in the log permanently
thats evidence

Digest for the week of 2025-04-06 has been published.
quick one a supplier improving shows in the log as later entries, not as earlier entries being edited
i have watched this standard hold for three years including when it was inconvenient for a popular supplier
a referral link is disqualifying because it makes the reporter an interested party. that is all

verification is not a recommendation. it means the evidence standard has been met, nothing more
thin evidence

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