[H3] HOW WE COLLECT INFORMATION ABOUT YOU When you visit our website (the “Site”), our web servers collect the details of your operating system, browser version, domain name and IP address and the details of the web site you linked from to the Site. Our web servers may seek to place a “cookie” (a small data file) on your computer’s hard drive, which allows the server to recognize your computer when you visit again.

[H3] COOKIES What are cookies? Cookies are small text files that are stored in your computer’s memory and hard drive, in your mobile device or tablet when you visit certain web pages. They are used to enable websites to function or to provide information to the owners of a website, or other third parties who receive data obtained from that website. When you visit any web site, it may store or retrieve information on your browser, mostly in the form of cookies. This information might be about you, your preferences or your device and is mostly used to make the site work as you expect it to. The information does not usually directly identify you, but it can give you a more personalized web experience. Key concepts of cookies First- and third-party cookies: whether a cookie is ‘first’ or ‘third’ party refers to the domain placing the cookie. First-party cookies are those set by a website that is being visited by the user at the time (e.g., cookies placed by our Site domain). Third-party cookies are cookies that are set by a domain other than that of the website being visited by the user. If a user visits a website and another entity sets a cookie through that website, this would be a third-party cookie. Persistent cookies: these cookies remain on a user’s device for the period of time specified in the cookie. They are activated each time the user visits the website that created that particular cookie. Session cookies: these cookies allow website operators to link the actions of a user during a browser session. A browser session starts when a user opens the browser window and finishes when they close the browser window. Session cookies are created temporarily. Once you close the browser, all session cookies are deleted. Why do we use cookies? Cookies help us to provide customized services and information. We use cookies on all our Site to tell us, in general terms, how and when pages in our Site are visited, what our users’ technology preferences are – such as what type of video player they use – and whether our Site is functioning properly. Depending on their purpose, some cookies will only operate for the length of a single browsing session, whilst others have a longer life span to ensure that they fulfil their longer-term purposes (as explained in more detail below). Please note that, however long the cookies’ active life may be, you can delete cookies (and therefore stop any further data collection by them) as further described below. In broad terms, we use cookies on our Site for the following purposes: Analytical purposes: Analytical cookies allow us to recognize measure and track visitors to our Site and compile a record of this usage information. This helps us to improve and develop the way our Site works, for example, by determining whether visitors to the Site can find information easily, or by identifying the aspects of Site that are of the most interest to them. Session management: The software that runs our Site uses cookies for technical purposes needed by the internal workings of our servers. For instance, we use cookies to distribute requests among multiple servers, authenticate users and determine what features of the site they can access, verify the origin of requests, keep track of information about a user’s session and determine which options or pages to display in order for the Site to function. Please note that third parties may use cookies on our Site. The kind of cookies and the consequent data processing carried out by such third parties are regulated by their privacy policy. How to delete and block our cookies If you wish to remove cookies set by our Site from your browser in the future, you may delete them. The instructions for removing cookies from your computer or mobile device depend on the operating system and web browser you use. Most web browsers allow some control of most cookies through the browser settings. Changing your Cookie Settings. The browser settings for changing your cookies settings are usually found in the ‘options’ or ‘preferences’ menu of your web browser. In order to understand these settings, the ‘Help’ option in your internet browser will provide more details. Alternatively, the site www.allaboutcookies.org includes instructions for managing cookies on many commonly used browsers, or you may consult the vendor documentation for your specific software. However, cookies are necessary in order for you to be able to make full use of our Site. If you use your browser settings to block all cookies (including strictly necessary cookies), some of our Site’s functionality might be impaired. Unless you have adjusted your browser setting so that it will refuse cookies, our system will issue cookies as soon as you visit the Site. Do Not Track “Do not track” signals are preferences that users can set on their web browsers to limit how their activity is tracked across online services. The Site does not respond to “do not track” signals in your web browser. Third party cookies When you visit our Site, you may receive cookies that are set by third parties. These may include cookies set by Google Analytics, WordPress or Vimeo.com. These cookies are used for the purposes described in the “Why Do We Use Cookies?” section of this policy.

Your Diagnosis
Before revealing the machine’s verdict, predict the BS score for each signal. Higher = more BS (more fluff, less verifiable substance). Drag each slider, then submit to compare your judgment against the engine.
Stuck? Reveal the heuristic lens — how the deterministic page-auditor reads each signal (no AI, pure pattern rules)
These are the structural rules a local, deterministic auditor applies — the same lens you can use to judge each signal. They describe what to look for, not this company’s result.
Classify each sentence as substantive or hollow. Grounding markers — numbers, currencies, dates, technical units, named entities — outweigh marketing adjectives. When fluff sits right next to hard evidence, the fluff is forgiven.
Pull the main entities out of the H1, then check whether they actually recur through the body. A page that announces one thing and then talks about another drifts. Headings with no real sentences underneath read as pseudo-substance.
Count 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.
Look at how much sentence length varies. Natural writing varies its rhythm; templated or mass-produced copy is statistically uniform. Very low variation reads as commodity content — unless unique named entities break the pattern.
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.
Want to apply this lens yourself? The free BS Indicator Chrome extension runs these heuristic checks live on any page. Bear in mind it is a single-page, deterministic tool — it relies only on pattern rules for the page in front of it and does not perform the cross-page semantic correlation this audit uses, so its readout is a starting lens, not the full verdict.
Based on 745 businesses audited.
Financial Services, Banking & Insurance BS: Moelis & Company (moelis.com)
Moelis & Company presents as a high-substance institutional entity that is unfortunately wrapped in a thin layer of generic corporate-culture fluff. The core financial claims are granular and credible, but the firm’s reliance on ‘Trust Theatre’ (review counts without links) and stale legal documentation creates a minor credibility gap.
1. Replace ‘our people are our greatest asset’ with specific diversity and retention percentages to eliminate the commodity fingerprint. 2. Implement Person schema for Ken Moelis and senior leadership with SameAs links to verifiable profiles. 3. Update the ‘Terms of Use’ and ‘Privacy Policy’ to reflect the current 2026 regulatory environment, as 2022 markers are now stale. 4. Add a direct proof link from the $5.5 trillion claim to a ‘Selected Transactions’ or ‘Tombstones’ page.
The site strongly aligns with the Investment Banking and Financial Services sector, utilizing specific institutional metrics like transaction volume and deal size ranges. The terminology focuses on M&A advisory, strategic connectivity, and institutional recruitment, confirming a high-accuracy industry fit.
“The score of 31 is primarily driven by the 'Trust and Proof' pillar (13/20) due to the presence of unverified review counts and the total absence of outbound proof links. The 'Commodity Fingerprint' (7/15) also contributed due to boilerplate 'Inclusion' language. The site scored very well in 'Semantic Coherence' (1/20), indicating a highly professional and consistent brand message.”
