Identity & Authority: SplitBase โ€“ Signal Evidence & AI Readability

Identity & Authority โ€” 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.

Founder Raphael Paulin-Daigle is clearly named and positioned as the central authority with 13+ years of experience, yet the schema_json lacks sameAs links to external profiles or third-party validation. While the team structure of 7 specialists per project provides operational credibility, there is a lack of individual specialist profiles to verify the depth of the Senior team claim. Technical implementation is strong, with structured data supporting the core service offerings.

The marketing tone is aggressive but is backed by a higher-than-average volume of named client results. The claim that every client onboarded in 2023, 2024, and 2025 achieved results in 90 days is a high-risk assertion that lacks a public-facing performance log. Despite this, the site avoids the typical agency red flag of guaranteeing specific search rankings, focusing instead on internal conversion metrics.

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.
