| Axis | Finding (rubric anchor) | Value | Source class | Weight | Checked |

NMC register: Degree shows a post-graduate surgical qualification; Speciality cell reads "Surgery" (not specifically plastic surgery) for the number-matched physician. [nmc-gurung] |

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.
