Proof
Evidence a sceptic can check: the shipped work, the named client, the number with a source. Claims are marketing; proof is what claims cost.
Every claim invites the silent question, says who? Proof is the answer prepared in advance: the portfolio piece that can be visited, the result with a date, the client who will take the call. Audiences discount adjectives automatically; they discount evidence only when it smells arranged.
The hierarchy of proof runs from demonstrable to decorative: live work beats screenshots, named clients beat logo walls, exact numbers beat improved significantly. This studio's site is built on the principle in its very slots, empty frames waiting for real work rather than invented imagery, because fabricated proof is the one debt a storyteller cannot service.
