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 gaps are the primary driver of the BS score, primarily due to technical failures rather than content claims. The schema_json is null across all audited pages, meaning the site fails to use structured data to verify its Organization identity or the Person schema for its named board members (e.g., Dr. Barbara Frei-Spreiter). Additionally, the absence of H1 tags on the homepage and location page indicates a lack of technical authority in its digital implementation.

There is almost no disconnect between marketing tone and demonstrated reality. In a rare display of anti-BS, the company openly reports ‘operational challenges’ and that ‘product improvements… had a significant negative impact on the result.’ This transparency in the annual report news item (March 24, 2026) strongly validates the substance of the site’s claims.

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.
