HOW THE RECORD WORKS

Evidence first. Certainty in proportion.

Sources

Prefer primary records: laboratory verification pages, dated certificates, archived vendor pages, regulator records, company filings, original announcements, and price lists. A screenshot can preserve a record, but a stable source link is easier for others to verify.

Laboratory reports

A report describes the submitted sample and the methods actually performed. It does not automatically prove manufacturer identity, chain of custody, every vial in a batch, or the quality of future batches.

Dates and freshness

Claims and markets change. Posts should include the observation date when it matters. Newer evidence does not erase older evidence; it adds another point to the timeline.

Missing evidence

Missing data is not a pass or a failure. It is shown as missing. “Needs evidence” is a request for support, not a declaration that the post is false.

Corrections

Correct the visible record and preserve the reason for a material change. Quiet deletion makes the paper trail less useful.
