Brochure title

Is the following expression well written

Our results are proof
  

Top answer

It sounds odd and I would say it can't stand like this. You'd have to use 'against' after 'proof', to say what the results are proof against (as this is the most correct preposition to go after 'proof'), as in: Our results are proof against scrutiny.
