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 robustly established through structured data and named accountability. The schema_json includes a full Organization profile with social links, and the Medien page identifies specific executives like Han Steutel and Dr. Claus Michelsen with professional headshots and direct contact information, closing any potential authority gaps.

There is no disconnect between claims and evidence. Performance claims regarding health system savings and R&D investments are backed by specific reports, such as the ‘vfa-Faktencheck’ and the ‘FinanzKommission Gesundheit’ response. The site functions as a repository of evidence rather than a list of marketing promises.

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.
