Sort of humorous comment, as PCI DSS is self assessment and attestation of compliance. If OP states they’ve met their burden, that’s all that’s required at their scale.

Really? I evidently know nothing of the matter, but you're saying that the auditors only get involved when they become a larger operation?
Yep. Card networks can also unilaterally decide your level.

Disclaimer: I work in governance/risk/compliance, but have not performed PCI compliance work in the last several years.

PCI DSS assessments are signed by natural persons, not arbitrary HTML content.
Natural persons who are rarely, if ever, pursued when breaches occur.
