update from 7 months ago: Homopeptide added evidence and the entry now reflects it

what counts: an independent report, on a lot you bought yourself, with the lot number, from a lab the room recognises

has verification ever been reinstated after a revocation

❤️1🔥10📈10

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

is a screenshot of a report ever acceptable

lot number or nothing

slightly off topic but nothing gets deleted from the log, including our own mistakes, i could be wrong

has anyone ever offered to pay for verification

why is a referral link disqualifying rather than just ignored

coming back after 21 months, has the standard changed

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

what actually counts as evidence for a verification

do blinded submissions carry more weight than open ones

i have a result but i did not buy the lot myself, does that count

both numbers go in

not a recommendation

refresh on evidence

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

a supplier improving shows in the log as later entries, not as earlier entries being edited

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

two labs a point or two apart on one lot is normal. both go in the log with both numbers
