unpopular opinion: most of what gets said here about order records are guesswork
Posting this as a discussion rather than a claim: unpopular opinion: most of what gets said here about order records are guesswork. Why the directory has two tiers, since the question comes up whenever somebody new finds it. Twenty suppliers have enough independent results, over enough separate lots, over enough…
Which lane, and what was the quoted lead time at checkout?
Independent testing is worth more than a supplied certificate for one structural reason: the chain of custody. A member who buys, ships and pays is testing the same thing you would receive.
Started buying small deliberately, tested every lot for the first four, then stopped testing every lot because there was nothing to find.
This. Ask for the batch record. The ones who send it inside a day have told you more than any review could.
That is a report count, not a test count. The table lists both and they are very different numbers.
That is a report count, not a test count.
Agreed — and the corollary is that "no data" and "bad data" have to be written differently. The table separates them for exactly that reason.
the wider-market names in the table are there because nobody has enough data on them
That reads as a recommendation and the source pages deliberately are not. They are a record you use to make your own decision.
How many separate lots is that across? One lot tested twice is one data point.
