Highlights from this day
- maintenance_mo — how long does a verification stay current before it needs refreshing 16:47
- mg_per_ml — does SGN being verified mean my vial is fine 18:30
- mg_per_ml — update from 22 months ago: ERP added evidence and the entry now reflects it the mods maintain the log. the room supplies the evidence and argues about it, which is… 19:01
- plus_sixteen — the log is readable chronologically and that is deliberate. the trajectory matters more than the current line 19:47
- reship_rita — update on the earlier thing somebody once offered to fund the testing programme in exchange for an entry. the offer is in the log 19:54
what counts: an independent report, on a lot you bought yourself, with the lot number, from a lab the room recognises, i have it written down somewhere
a good result with bad sample handling gets logged with a note about the handling. context is part of the record
revoked stays in the log
verification is revoked on a confirmed failure and the revocation stays in the log permanently
why is a referral link disqualifying rather than just ignored
verification is not a recommendation. it means the evidence standard has been met, nothing more
the point of the standard is that it applies to suppliers we like as well as ones we do not
thats not evidence
🔥6
what does not count: the supplier certificate alone, a screenshot, a referral link, or a friend who says it was fine
nothing gets deleted
verification has never been for sale and never will be. offers get posted publicly with the sender redacted
genuine question what happens to the log entry when a supplier improves
follow up if you want to help, buy a lot, test it, and post the report with the lot number. that is the whole contribution

post the photos
coming back after 1 months, has the standard changed
thats evidence

what actually counts as evidence for a verification
if the evidence is thin the entry says the evidence is thin. that is more useful than a score
not a recommendation
does a good result from PeptideMeter outweigh a bad one from Medutest
👍2
log it either way
blinded submissions carry more weight because they remove a variable, not because we distrust the labs
😂1📉2
we refresh on new evidence, not on a clock. an old verification with no recent results says so on the entry
refresh on evidence
does SGN being verified mean my vial is fine

thin evidence
does a supplier certificate on its own count for anything
has anyone ever offered to pay for verification
a good result with bad sample handling gets logged with a note about the handling. context is part of the record
update from 22 months ago: ERP added evidence and the entry now reflects it
the mods maintain the log. the room supplies the evidence and argues about it, which is the correct division
lot number or nothing
blinded is better
Reminder for plus_sixteen: dose day is today. Set 5 days ago.
we have never revoked on a single result. we have revoked on a pattern
two labs a point or two apart on one lot is normal. both go in the log with both numbers
the log is readable chronologically and that is deliberate. the trajectory matters more than the current line

unrelated but the lot number on the certificate does not match my vial, what now
both numbers go in
pattern not one result
a lot number mismatch between the vial and the certificate is a serious finding. post it with photos of both
is the verification log the same thing as a recommendation
never for sale
never for sale, thats just me
