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.

Matt did a great job: • Turning up on time to quote • Arranging scaffolding • Time keeping • Tidy • Friendly • Going over and above the requirements of the job • His work was exceptional I would highly recommend Matt and will use his services again myself in the future.
Matt did an excellent job of painting the front and back of our house, plus our bathroom. He is reliable, punctual, meticulous, flexible and hard-working, with great attention to detail and rightly takes pride in his work. It’s no surprise that many of us in the street trust Matt with our external and internal painting and decorating jobs, both big and small.
