- first_month_fi — is verification a status you can lose or is it a one time thing — and how does the log handle two results on the same lot that disagree 19:35
a verified supplier can still ship you a bad vial. verification is about the record, not about your parcel, more detail if anyone wants
what actually counts as evidence for a verification

for the record verification has never been for sale and never will be. offers get posted publicly with the sender redacted
evidence question not a vendor one the log is boring on purpose. an exciting verification log is one somebody has been editing, the chain is what makes it evidence
how long does a verification stay current before it needs refreshing
flip side of that verification here means a documented chain, not a badge, and the room has never issued a badge, no badges here
oh thats annoying, chain is vial cert invoice report

pinned standard says if the evidence is thin the entry says the evidence is thin. that is more useful than a score, correction goes underneath the original
about what counts as evidence we refresh on new evidence, not on a clock. an old verification with no recent results says so on the entry
provenance photo attached a status change needs a pattern, and a pattern is more than one lot and more than one person
evidence added, status unchanged means somebody did the work and the picture did not move. that is a real outcome, i think
a pdf is preferred because a screenshot loses the metadata, but a screenshot with the address bar visible is accepted
visible variance is a property of publishing your data, not of having worse data. that is the pin and it stands
