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 theatre is absent as the site relies on institutional prestige rather than marketing badges. While review_count is 0 on the homepage, the ‘Die LMU’ page shows 112, reflecting real engagement rather than empty trust theatre flags. Performance claims regarding rankings are substantiated by naming the specific status (Exzellenzuniversität) and the year of achievement.

Proof density is significantly higher than industry averages, with a high ratio of verifiable evidence to assertions. Every page contains at least 3 specific proof links or forensic data points. The ‘Die LMU in Zahlen’ section serves as a concentrated proof hub, offering exact faculty counts (840) and student enrollment figures instead of rounded approximations.

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.
