“This lovely man did a great job plastering our dressing room ceiling. He arrived on time, kept in contact with us from the time we accepted his quote. He tidied up so well afterwards that you wouldn't have known he had been working in that room. I totally recommend this business to anyone that needs a plastering job done.”

Missing evidence lowers the score because we can't check it. It doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Claiming a profile never changes the score. Evidence context, not a guarantee of workmanship.
