Identity & Authority — The Lens

Inspect the JSON-LD. Is there an Organization or Person schema, and does it carry sameAs links to real external profiles (LinkedIn, socials)? Missing schema or no identity declaration signals an anonymous entity.

The primary authority gap is the total absence of structured data (schema_json is null across all pages), which is a significant technical oversight for a major financial platform. While the site mentions ‘Experts at Aberdeen,’ it fails to name specific portfolio managers or provide ‘Person’ schema links, leaving the ‘expert’ claim somewhat faceless. There is also no specific FCA registration number explicitly visible in the provided text, though regulatory warnings are present.

The performance claims are largely grounded in cost-savings rather than guaranteed market returns, which reduces BS. The claim that a flat fee could ‘dramatically increase your retirement wealth’ is supported by a comparative table showing annual fee deltas (e.g., ii at £679.88 vs. Vanguard at £1,525.00 for a £250k pot). This turns a marketing assertion into a verifiable mathematical claim.

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.
