Authority is established through named and pictured experts rather than anonymous ‘advice’ blocks. Ashlyn Trojnacki (Mortgage Expert) and Rhydian Jones (Commercial Director) are both cited with specific titles and expertise, though the lack of structured Person schema in the provided JSON-LD represents a minor technical authority gap.

There is no disconnect between claims and delivery. The site makes a performance claim of ‘saving £511’ and immediately supports it with the 51st percentile saving methodology and a specific date range (Dec 2025 – Feb 2026). It demonstrates the methodology behind its calculators rather than asking for blind trust.

Identity & Authority is read from the structured data first: whether the site declares who it is in machine-readable schema, with verifiable identity links. Below is the schema captured per page, then the external proof links that support (or fail to support) that identity.
