From the reported independent results.
+-5% compared to Quest and LabCorp at a fraction of the cost is good enough to make a profit.

It makes sense to complain in Silicon Valley...
But it makes you look like a slimeball trying to cover your ass in the medical/scientific industry.
Industrial science is different than tech. In tech, if it works, it works, and nobody really cares how. In fact, it is in your best interest to hide how you did it, because that is your IP.
In industrial science, if it works, but you fight people trying to open the black box, it makes you look like you're faking data.
