Authority is verified through named executives (Lagarde, Cipollone, de Guindos) whose specific speeches and presentation slides are provided in full. While the schema_json provided in the crawl is null, the institutional authority is cemented by the publication of numbered working papers (No. 3240, 3239) and explicit references to European Central Bank Decisions (e.g., ECB/2016/16).

Marketing tone is non-existent, replaced by transparent institutional documentation. Performance claims regarding inflation targets (2%) are presented as commitments supported by ‘Accounts of monetary policy meetings’ and ‘Financial Stability Reviews.’ There is no disconnect between what the site claims and the exhaustive data it provides to demonstrate its operations.

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.
