Axis by axis
rubric value 1–5 · ? could not verify (no points, not a negative finding) · — not applicable: this country has no register of that class · OFF official register · SEC secondary source
| Axis | Finding (rubric anchor) | Value | Source class | Weight | Checked |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| M1 | Specialist certification of the responsible physician Found, status current; the registered specialty matches what this physician advertises. NMC register: the number-matched record of the medical director carries the Speciality cell "Dermatology", matching the advertised dermatology; a second number-matched physician carries the same Speciality cell. [nmc-karn] |
OFF | 26 | 2026-09-20 | |
| M2 | Identifiability of the responsible physician Physician(s) named with role and tied to this address. Three physicians are named with role, qualification and NMC number on the team page, tied to this address. [site-team] |
SEC | 16 | 2026-09-20 | |
| M3 | Basic medical licence Matched by name (surname stem and given name or initial; a second identifier where the name is ambiguous). Two of the site-published NMC numbers (3699, 18338) matched by number in the Nepal Medical Council register. [v1.3 2026-09-22: the number is not printed on the clinic's own pages (audit short_number) — matched by name] [nmc-karn] [nmc-kc] |
OFF | 8 | 2026-09-22 | |
| M4 | Facility registration Found with a spelling discrepancy; or the location is registered under the name of the host facility at the same address (a practice inside a hospital or a centre); or the value comes from a mirror or from a directory that shows no status — the profile names the record holder verbatim. Facility registry: record found for this operator in Kathmandu (hf_code 3060804662), Non-Government / Private Enterprise; the registered facility name is written without the space of the trading name. [nhfr] |
OFF | 10 | 2026-09-20 | |
| M5 | Legal-entity traceability The legal entity is named; the register of this class is not accessible or does not cover this legal form (sole practitioner, private practice). The centre names its operating entity with a legal form in its own page furniture; the company register is not machine-accessible (v1.2 closed-register anchor). [site-team] Cutis Care Pvt. Ltd. © 2025 |
SEC | 8 | 2026-09-20 | |
| M6 | Self-disclosure of identifiers Physician numbers published; facility or legal-entity numbers not. Physician NMC numbers are published with the issuer named; no facility or company registration number is published. [site-team] |
SEC | 10 | 2026-09-20 | |
| M7 | Advertising honesty Systematic superlatives; systematic safety promises without an absolute; absolutes about the past (success rates, “no infection since …”, satisfaction figures, “we guarantee your satisfaction”); comparisons with surgery. Completed lexicon scan of the centre pages: several superlative claims without an issuer, no guarantee-class statement. [site-about] Cutis Care is a leading dermatology and aesthetic center in Nepal, providing advanced skin, hair, and laser treatments with expert care and cutting-edge technology. |
SEC | 12 | 2026-09-20 | |
| M8 | Cross-locale consistency Could not verify — no points, counts against coverage, not a negative finding. Reason: Single language front. Last attempt: clinic_site, 20 September 2026 — one language front; no hreflang alternates or language links The clinic site publishes one language front; nothing to compare. |
? | ? | 5 | 2026-09-20 |
| M9 | Patient documents One. Completed presence scan of the centre pages: side-effect content published in the centre own FAQ; no consent document, aftercare document, revision policy or complaint route found. [site-faq] |

What we could not verify
- M8 · Cross-locale consistency — Single language front
These cells score nothing and are not negative findings. A cell on a register that is closed to machine queries is left out of the coverage calculation; the others count against it. Each one names why it is empty; an attempt that did not complete is re-run in the next collection pass. If you can point to a public source, send it.
