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 in the register with a current status; the register does not disclose the specialty, or discloses a different one (including “no specialisation”), and the clinic claims no protected title. The register's own line is shown on the profile. NMC register: registration current, Degree MBBS; Speciality cell not populated. [nmc-mainali] |
OFF | 26 | 2026-08-31 | |
| M2 | Identifiability of the responsible physician Physician(s) named with role and tied to this address. |
SEC | 16 | 2026-08-31 | |
| M3 | Basic medical licence Matched by name (surname stem and given name or initial; a second identifier where the name is ambiguous). Site-published NMC No. 7680 matched in the register by number. [v1.3 2026-09-22: the number is not printed on the clinic's own pages (audit short_number) — matched by name] [nmc-mainali] |
OFF | 8 | 2026-09-22 | |
| M4 | Facility registration Record found: name, address and status match. Facility registry: name, ownership and city match (hf_code 3060805322). [nhfr] |
OFF | 10 | 2026-08-31 | |
| M5 | Legal-entity traceability Only a brand, without a legal form and without a responsible person. Whatever we find ourselves is shown on the profile as a fact and does not raise this cell. Clinic names no legal entity anywhere on its own pages — brand only. [site] |
SEC | 8 | 2026-09-18 | |
| M6 | Self-disclosure of identifiers Physician numbers published; facility or legal-entity numbers not. Physician NMC number published for the founder; not for the second doctor; no facility/legal-entity numbers published. [site] |
SEC | 10 | 2026-08-31 | |
| 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. Systematic soft superlatives in the clinic's own text, no guarantee-class claim — two distinct phrases of this kind appear on the reloaded About page (quoted below).

SEC | 12 | 2026-09-18 | |
| 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 | 2026-09-18 |
| M9 | Patient documents One. Completed scan of the clinic's own pages: aftercare content present (staff trained in laser aftercare); no consent, risk/contraindication, revision-policy or complaint-route content found. [site] |

Score ceilings

| In scope: the intervention is performed by a physician | verified yes [site] |

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.
