Identity & Authority: MNP – Signal Evidence & AI Readability

MNP

(https://www.mnp.ca) 📸 Data Snapshot: May 16, 2026
Identity & Authority — The Lens

Inspect the JSON-LD. Is there an Organization or Person schema, and does it carry sameAs links to real external profiles (LinkedIn, socials)? Missing schema or no identity declaration signals an anonymous entity.

Identity & Authority Expert verifiability & Schema depth.

Authority is airtight with no detectable gaps. Authors are named specifically (e.g., Bruce Warkentin, Kirstie McGrath) and linked to their professional credentials (CPA, CA, TEP). The Personnel page provides an exhaustive directory of partners, and the schema_json is robust, utilizing Person and Organization graphs to establish a clear digital footprint.

There is a strong connection between claims and demonstrations. Rather than just claiming to ‘save money,’ the site provides a 10-year investment growth scenario for a hypothetical practitioner (‘Jane’) to illustrate the concrete impact of incorporation. The site prioritizes showing the mechanics of tax deferral and capital gains exemptions over making unsubstantiated performance promises.

Identity & Authority is read from the structured data first: whether the site declares who it is in machine-readable schema, with verifiable identity links. Below is the schema captured per page, then the external proof links that support (or fail to support) that identity.
