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 fake review widgets; the review_count is 0 and the trust_theatre_flag is false. However, the bold claim of ‘lowest price for every product, at every moment’ lacks a direct link to a third-party audit or a live price-comparison methodology on the audited pages. Trust is established primarily through the inclusion of a verifiable KBO/BTW registration number and a physical head office address.

Proof density is dominated by verifiable legal and logistical data. The site provides a direct phone number, email, and physical location (+32 2 363 55 45, info@colruyt.be, Halle). The ratio of substantiation is high because every marketing claim (like the BBQ promo) is accompanied by a detailed list of terms, dates, and exclusionary criteria.

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.
