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 traditional trust theatre patterns like unverified review carousels. Instead, it provides a high proof_links_count via links to Box Score (PDF), Postgame Presser, and Highlights for almost every news item. While the review_count is 0, the nature of the content (official reporting of public events) serves as its own verification mechanism, as the claims can be cross-referenced with external sports media.

The ratio of verifiable evidence to assertions is nearly 1:1. Each news story contains a date (May 23, 2026), a specific location (Norman), and specific outcomes. Even the fundraising blocks (Lead On for Champions) reference a specific launch date (July 1, 2020) and a target goal ($2 billion), providing more substance than the typical academic mission statement.

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.
