Well, fuck peptide test

I had a few concerns with it being just a three person show at first, but I think people are just happy that they can test domestically now.

How many people do you think are on the Jano team? It's only a handful of people and he does an order of magnitude more tests.

None jano’s team are salespeople, which id argue shouldn’t be considered. If you subtract the “marketing department” which is basically an affiliate, you’re left with a husband and wife that handle the business operations and all the lab work at trustpointe.

Jano runs a real company with a variety of employees working in various capacities in the business and lab. It is silly to try to equate a mom and pop that have an affiliate marketer with what is happening at Jano’s shop, which looks and operates like what we’d recognize as a “company.”

I’m not saying this means much in terms of the quality of the work product, just that pep test/trustpointe’s quantity of “employees” is basically meaningless. For all intents and purposes it’s a solo shop.

I think you might have mis-parsed my statement and assumed I meant Josh instead of Jano? I was only saying that Jano's lab only has a handful employees (I believe I've seen him talk about a couple people running tests)

I know that trustpointe (Josh) is only a husband/wife team. (although I believe they also have at least one other technician)

Nah, I read them correctly, I just may have over interpreted what you were getting at. Just trying to say that a business with let’s say 5 employees has more in commmon with a business that has 100 employees than it does with a husband and wife shop. The chasm between the two is dramatic and can’t be written off as “just a few more employees” — they’re totally different animals

Not enough people involved. It's distressing that people still read Shakespeare. Think of the poetry that a committee could have come up with.

There are theories that work attributed to Shakespeare wasn't from a single person...

My email has been Trojan horsed and virused from Peptide Test!

I had to make a new one from all of the magnum condom emails I was getting at my sk8rboy69420@askjeeves.co m email
I. Am. Distraught.

Yes, I found the video on youtube of his wife helping him to be compelling evidence.

My gripe is that they use this “we are here because we want to help the community” marketing bullshit and then make moves like that that actually limit access to filters by setting up a de facto monopoly. If they want to be dickish business guys then they shouldn’t masquerade as community servants.

Totally agree with that take. There are too many people spewing “here for you” stuff where it’s all about making a few extra dollars. This is why I am mean to everyone.

Serious question though. Peptide Test as a testing option, yes or no? I would love to have more than one place to go for crowd testing.

I like them and they do ok in the couple of head-to-head lab tests that I have seen. It's also nice not to have send your vials across the pond. Turn around time is normally just a few days. I used them a couple of months ago and the process went smooth. There are others in the US that don't have as good of a track record.

I’d send TrustPointe something i don’t expect to be weird, like qsc tirz or similar. I wouldn’t send them something that could be a curveball, like a new or unsteady vendor, because I don’t think they have a track record that gives confidence in weird results. If they come back with something unexpected you’re going to have to wonder if it was the vendor or the lab, where with Jano you can assume the lab result was solid based on a long track record.

For how new they are and the fact that they messed up the only head to head I am aware of, TP really should be charging much less, they’re simply not equivalent to the competition no matter how hard they market themselves as such. Being domestic (so faster ship time and lower ship cost) is their only competitive advantage and that isn’t enough to offset the lack of record. If they also competed on price then maybe we are getting somewhere.
