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 technical rather than substantive. The site lacks JSON-LD structured data (schema_json is null), which is a significant omission for a top-tier national authority in 2026. Furthermore, the heading hierarchy is brutally flat, relying on repetitive H2 tags for chronological years rather than semantic categorization.

There are no marketing performance claims to disconnect from. The site presents raw data, policy rates, and official statements without the use of promotional adjectives or unsubstantiated success narratives. Results are documented in the Press Releases and Notifications archives rather than touted in a hero section.

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.
