Many felt that such third party tests are harmful to the overall process of having comparable official results and official workloads. Besides, it may leave Polygraph development underfunded. The following proposed as a compromise to both extremes. In this timeline, all dates refer to publication dates . Tests would always take place 2-4 weeks prior to result publication.
All dates are approximate, rounded to whole-month increments.
This example assumes an eight month span between cache-offs. Polyteam releases the official report. 2 New results can be published for cache-off participants. 3 New results can be published for anyone. No new results will be published.
