somebody once offered to fund the testing programme in exchange for an entry. the offer is in the log
a good result with bad sample handling gets logged with a note about the handling. context is part of the record
blinded submissions carry more weight because they remove a variable, not because we distrust the labs
the log is readable chronologically and that is deliberate. the trajectory matters more than the current line
the point of the standard is that it applies to suppliers we like as well as ones we do not, we shall see
verification has never been for sale and never will be. offers get posted publicly with the sender redacted

how many independent results does a supplier need
a verified supplier can still ship you a bad vial. verification is about the record, not about your parcel
a good result with bad sample handling gets logged with a note about the handling. context is part of the record
nothing gets deleted
do blinded submissions carry more weight than open ones
verification is not a recommendation. it means the evidence standard has been met, nothing more, n of 1 obviously

verification is revoked on a confirmed failure and the revocation stays in the log permanently

i have watched this standard hold for three years including when it was inconvenient for a popular supplier, for what its worth
we have never revoked on a single result. we have revoked on a pattern
