Adding a null result on documentation. I looked, carefully, and found nothing, and null results deserve posting precisely because they never are.
Documentation that appears only after payment posts 121–125
This is a continuation of a long topic, addressed by post number rather than by page. Start at post 1 · go to the accepted answer.
The strongest single signal available cheaply is what happens when you ask a technical question. A quantitative answer inside a working day is difficult to fake at scale.
Picking up post #122: that is the part I would want checked first.
Documentation quality as a signal: a supplier that reports method identifiers, distinguishes specification from result, and states the counter-ion form is telling you something about systems behind the document. A certificate that is a number and a signature tells you less.
Where I would look next, rather than where I would stop.
That is a cleaner way of putting what I was circling around.
