      <image:title>Validation Griot Blog - If Sampling Plans Could Talk: A Validation Perspective on Pass / Fail Statistics - Every attribute sampling plan answers two questions: how many units do you check, and how many defects can you find before you call the run unacceptable? We call those the check size and the pass limit, and getting them right means weighing two risks: OP risk, the risk of rejecting a run that was actually fine, and QR risk, the risk of accepting one that wasn't.</image:title>

      <image:title>Validation Griot Blog - When the Bird Gets In - After my corporate position was eliminated, I knew I still had more to offer. I had led validation efforts for decades, but I couldn’t carry forward the framework I had helped shape while employed. If I wanted to keep contributing to the field, I needed something new, and it had to stand on its own.</image:title>
