Trust & Proof: Swiss National Bank (SNB) – 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 site triggers a trust theatre penalty because it reports a review_count of 9 on the homepage and 8 on the contact page while maintaining a proof_links_count of 0. While the SNB does not use typical marketing trust theatre (like five-star badges), the technical presence of unlinked reviews in the metadata without a verified third-party proof path constitutes a forensic flag.

The ratio of verifiable evidence to claims is among the highest measured. Specific proof points include real-time exchange rates (EUR/CHF 0.9238), historical inflation data (0.1% in February to 0.6% in May), and physical contact details for 13 different SNB agencies and representative offices across Switzerland and Singapore.

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.
