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.

The site avoids common trust theatre traps like unverified five-star badges or vague ‘trusted by’ logos. Instead, it uses actual proof links to news reports, named athlete stories (e.g., Barbara van Bergen, Rene de Silvestro), and International Federation agreements. The review count of 13 on the homepage appears to be a metadata artifact rather than consumer-style testimonials. A small penalty is applied for the absence of a direct link to an annual financial report or administrative spending ratios in the provided text, which is a standard proof expectation for major NGOs.

The proof density is high, with a significant ratio of verifiable data to vague assertions. Every major claim (number of sports, history of the games, impairment types) is followed by an exhaustive list or a technical explanation. The site functions more as a technical encyclopedia for the movement than a promotional brochure, which drastically reduces its BS score.

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.
