Questions about this rule

Does TRUST_NO_UNVERIFIED_TRUST_BADGES affect my score?

Yes. It is an importance 4 rule at RESEARCH confidence, so a failure costs 4 × 0.7 points of impact in the Trust & Scam category before that category is normalised to 100.

What does RESEARCH confidence mean?

Backed by large-sample study or industry research, not a specification. Confidence is a declared tier rather than a per-rule number, so every rule backed by the same class of evidence carries the same weight - which is what makes the score reproducible instead of hand-tuned.
