Who does the work
The desk
Three people. Each one publishes what they are cleared to operate, when they were last checked on it, and what they have no business touching.
Credentials here are a sign-off list rather than a job title: the rigs and instruments a person is cleared to run and calibrate, with the date of their last competency check. It is a more useful thing to know about someone who is telling you a number than where they went to university.
There are no photographs on this site, of anyone. Each analyst has a monogram generated from their id instead.

Statistics and uncertainty · on the desk since 2026-03
Nandini Rege
Metrologist. Wrote uncertainty budgets for an industrial calibration house for seven years, which is a job that consists almost entirely of telling people their number has fewer significant figures than they think.
