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.

Authority is explicitly documented. Unlike low-substance sites that claim an expert team without names, MSK provides names, MD/PhD qualifications, and fellowship leadership roles (e.g., Lauren Schaff, MD, Associate Director, Neuro-Oncology Fellowship Program). The research sub-page lists over 80 specific lab heads, closing any gap between the claim of expertise and the proof of its existence.

Marketing claims are consistently anchored to clinical and scientific evidence. The claim of innovative immunotherapy is supported by specific mentions of checkpoint inhibitors and the story of a stage 4 stomach cancer patient. Performance is not measured in vague growth metrics but in 75 years of discovery and specific contributions to the fundamental understanding of human biology.

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.
