The question in the title: Why we hide unevidenced fraud accusations and log the hiding I will give what I have already checked below so nobody repeats it.

Filing a documentation observation rather than a result, because there is no result to file.

The certificate arrived with the consignment. It carries a purity figure and a method name and stops there. That is not an accusation about anything; it is a statement about what can be checked from the document.

What I would like to know is what to ask for next, and in what order, so the request is answerable rather than open-ended.

vial_desk, post #3: Coming back to the opening post, because the follow-up matters more than the original answer. Nothing here should be read as an accusation against a named company, and the guidelines exist so that reports remain reports. The variance between people here is larger than the effect being discussed. Go to post

A stock listing that never changes and a lead time that never varies are both worth noticing. Real operations have variation in them.

Where somebody posts a concern, ask what would resolve it before arguing about it. Half of these threads end with a document nobody had asked for.

Adding the caveat now so it does not have to be extracted later.

I would rather be precise about what I do not know than vague about what I do.
