SETI Institute
(https://seti.org) 📸 Data Snapshot: June 19, 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 site avoids trust theatre by maintaining a review_count of 0 and not relying on unverified testimonial carousels. Trust is established through project-based proof points, such as the $1 million STRIDE grants and the invitation of Scott Manley for a facility tour, although direct outbound DOI links for the ‘Published Research’ section are not explicitly visible in the crawl data.
Proof density is high, with the site referencing specific years (1961, 2025, 2026) and technical protocols for the IAA SETI Committee. The ‘Drake Equation’ page functions as a 8,500+ character technical resource, serving as significant substance that backs the Institute’s high-level research claims.
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.
