Trust theatre is a significant contributor to the score due to unverified claims. The site reports a review_count of 14 on the shop page with a proof_links_count of 0, indicating reviews are displayed without third-party verification. Furthermore, high-level trust signals like LBMA approved member and insured through Lloyds of London are stated as text but lack outbound links to certifications or policy verification, leaving the user to take the site’s word for it.

Proof density is moderate; specific evidence is present in the form of pricing tables and technical specifications (e.g., .9999 purity), but external verification is absent. There are zero outbound proof_links_count recorded across the crawled data. While the internal logic is sound (fees, purity, processes), the lack of third-party validation (LBMA links, insurance certificates, or verified reviews) keeps the substance unanchored.

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.
