Trust & Proof: RBC – Signal Evidence & AI Readability

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 evidence shows a review_count of 0 and a proof_links_count of 0 across all slots. No trust theatre flags were triggered simply because there is no content to host them, but the site fails the proof path requirement entirely by providing no outbound links to external validation or regulatory bodies. This absence of verifiable data in a high-compliance industry like finance is a significant red flag.

The ratio of verifiable evidence to assertions is undefined but functionally zero. With zero proof points and zero assertions, the site offers no forensic trail for a user or regulator to follow. The lack of FSCS protection status or FCA registration details in the crawl is a critical omission for a banking entity.

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.
