Authority gaps are minimal. The site provides a comprehensive directory (Slot 5) of named researchers like Dr Hoda Abdel Aty and Dr Daniel Adams with their specific divisions. The only minor gap is the absence of Person schema in the provided crawl data, though the text-based digital footprint is massive and verifiable.

Performance claims are backed by specific, dated research data. For example, the claim about shorter radiotherapy courses for prostate cancer is supported by data in Slot 0 showing two treatments are as safe as five. These are not vague marketing promises but summaries of scientific findings.

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.
