Checkatrade
(https://www.checkatrade.com) 📸 Data Snapshot: May 16, 2026Count 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 data shows a review_count of 0 and a proof_links_count of 0 across all provided slots. Despite the brand name ‘Checkatrade’ implying verified reliability, there is zero forensic evidence or outbound proof paths in the crawled data. The trust_theatre_flag is false only because there is no content to even attempt a performance, resulting in a total proof vacuum.
The proof density is non-existent. With 0 proof links and 0 reviews against an empty text body, there is no verifiable evidence provided to the analyst. The ratio of evidence to assertions cannot be calculated as both are missing, which within this framework, constitutes a maximum bullshit score.
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.
