Trust & Proof — The Lens

Count trust words (review, testimonial, rating, verified) against real outbound proof links (Google, Trustpilot, Clutch, G2, Yelp). Lots of trust language with zero verification links is trust theatre. Unlinked logo galleries count against it.

Trust signals are grounded in institutional proof rather than social theatre. While review counts are present (ranging from 5 to 44), they are secondary to the primary proof paths: the Vitra Design Museum, the Schaudepot, and the Sustainability Report. The site avoids the trust_theatre_flag by linking claims to physical locations (Vitra Campus) and verifiable professional tools like pCon and CAD downloads.

Proof density is high, favoring verifiable evidence over vague assertions. Across the 6 pages, there are dozens of specific product names, material types, and named client projects. The Destination Workplace page alone provides 6 distinct, named client proof points with specific locations (Bern, Zurich, Barcelona), representing an 8:1 ratio of evidence to assertions.

Trust & Proof is read by weighing trust language against real verification. Below is the page-by-page tally of review mentions and external proof links, then the schema markup that may (or may not) declare verifiable ratings and identity proof.
