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.

Trust & Proof Verifiable evidence vs. Trust Theatre.

While the site avoids egregious trust theatre, it claims hundreds of 5-star reviews on the New Boilers page while the page metadata only registers review counts between 7 and 11. The trust_theatre_flag is false, but the site lacks direct, clickable verification links to the mentioned Checkatrade or Trustpilot profiles within the text body. The presence of a verifiable FCA FRN number significantly mitigates typical trade trust-theatre penalties.

Proof density is high due to the inclusion of the registered office address and the specific regulatory notice for Mitsubishi HC Capital UK PLC. The ratio of vague assertions to verifiable facts is favorable, with specific mention of F-Gas Registration and ERP ratings (A++ for cooling). The primary missing proof element is the specific Gas Safe ID number which is standard expectation for this sector.

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.
