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

Highlights from this day
- per_mg_pete — i have watched this standard hold for three years including when it was inconvenient for a popular supplier 21:05
- per_mg_pete — a lot number mismatch between the vial and the certificate is a serious finding. post it with photos of both, for what its worth 21:11
- VialBot — Purity check: no report on file for lot H-2814. Nothing logged either way. 22:09
- ms_ms_mira — the log is readable chronologically and that is deliberate. the trajectory matters more than the current line, happy to be corrected the point of the standard is that… 22:31
thin evidence
how long does a verification stay current before it needs refreshing
not a recommendation
🤝4👍1
the mods maintain the log. the room supplies the evidence and argues about it, which is the correct division
blinded is better
👍5
the point of the standard is that it applies to suppliers we like as well as ones we do not, still working it out
a verified supplier can still ship you a bad vial. verification is about the record, not about your parcel
revoked stays in the log
has anyone ever offered to pay for verification

nothing gets deleted
verification is revoked on a confirmed failure and the revocation stays in the log permanently
a lot number mismatch between the vial and the certificate is a serious finding. post it with photos of both, for what its worth
genuine question if the evidence is thin the entry says the evidence is thin. that is more useful than a score
refresh on evidence
a good result with bad sample handling gets logged with a note about the handling. context is part of the record
both numbers go in
❤️2📉3🙏8
what does not count: the supplier certificate alone, a screenshot, a referral link, or a friend who says it was fine
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
a supplier improving shows in the log as later entries, not as earlier entries being edited
log it either way
Purity check: no report on file for lot H-2814. Nothing logged either way.
post the photos
the log is readable chronologically and that is deliberate. the trajectory matters more than the current line, happy to be corrected
the point of the standard is that it applies to suppliers we like as well as ones we do not
never for sale
what counts: an independent report, on a lot you bought yourself, with the lot number, from a lab the room recognises
does a supplier certificate on its own count for anything
verification is not a recommendation. it means the evidence standard has been met, nothing more
