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.

Very very happy with the work that Matt has carried out on our home. He has decorated multiple rooms to a really high standard and always goes above and beyond. Can't recommend him enough.
Matt is an exceptional decorator. He's painted the interior and exterior of my property. Him and his team are friendly, punctual, trustworthy and industrious. Nothing is too much trouble. Matt is a perfectionist and an expert in his trade. Most of all he checked in to make sure I was happy with the work both during and at the end of the project. Matt also has a positive attitude and I wouldn't trust anyone else. I would definitely recommend Matt for anyone considering a painting and decorating project.
