 "synopsis": "❌ Don't trust their 'COA'. The Janoshik certificate is real, but the client on it is their wholesale supplier, NOT them. They've never tested their own stock; they're displaying someone else's certificate, which proves nothing about the vial they'll send you.",
 "scrutiny": "Imperialsciences promises 'Each batch is: Independently tested by HPLC; Supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis; Clearly batch-labelled for traceability'. The document behind 'independently tested' was issued to someone else, not to this seller, so it says nothing checkable about the vial you receive. A certificate that names someone else as the client proves a sample from that supplier's line, not the vial you are sent. The client printed on that certificate is its wholesale supplier, not this seller.",
