The name on an AnalyticalMethod appears in regulatory report appendices and result detail views where the methodId alone would not be self-explanatory to non-technical readers. It complements the methodId: the ID is used for matching and regulatory reference, while the name provides a plain-language description. Keeping name accurate ensures that report readers — including regulatory agency reviewers — can understand which analytical procedure was applied without needing to look up the method code.
