The claim
Google evaluates content quality through E-E-A-T, treating demonstrated first-hand Experience and overall Trust as decisive for Your-Money-or-Your-Life topics.
What the evidence shows
The Search Quality Evaluator Guidelines instruct human raters to assess the E-E-A-T of the content creator and the main content, and state explicitly that Trust is the most important factor, with the other three supporting it. The addition of the extra 'E' for Experience emphasises first-hand or life experience as a quality signal, especially for YMYL topics.
