Highlights from this day
- alcohol_hits — a good result with bad sample handling gets logged with a note about the handling. context is part of the record, ymmv 20:54
- cricket_or_footy — a supplier improving shows in the log as later entries, not as earlier entries being edited 21:33
- ten_of_ten — how do you handle a result that is good but the sample handling was poor 22:14
*Medutest not the other one
i have watched this standard hold for three years including when it was inconvenient for a popular supplier
not a recommendation
somebody once offered to fund the testing programme in exchange for an entry. the offer is in the log
why is a referral link disqualifying rather than just ignored
the log is readable chronologically and that is deliberate. the trajectory matters more than the current line
what does not count: the supplier certificate alone, a screenshot, a referral link, or a friend who says it was fine
*Janoshik not the other one
verification is revoked on a confirmed failure and the revocation stays in the log permanently
has anyone ever offered to pay for verification
revoked stays in the log
how does a supplier get verification revoked
a supplier improving shows in the log as later entries, not as earlier entries being edited

coming back to this verification has never been for sale and never will be. offers get posted publicly with the sender redacted, i think
while im here what happens to the log entry when a supplier improves
thin evidence
if you want to help, buy a lot, test it, and post the report with the lot number. that is the whole contribution
we refresh on new evidence, not on a clock. an old verification with no recent results says so on the entry, anyway
thats not evidence

log it either way
pattern not one result
genuine question does a good result from Janoshik outweigh a bad one from VendorInvestigate
two labs disagree on the same lot, which one goes in the log
update from 4 months ago: WXT added evidence and the entry now reflects it
we have never revoked on a single result. we have revoked on a pattern
how long does a verification stay current before it needs refreshing
