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 Not applicable: this country has no Specialist board register. |
— | — | — | 2026-09-19 |
| M2 | Identifiability of the responsible physician Physician(s) named with role and tied to this address. The physician is named with his role, his training and the consulting address on the practice's own pages. [site-about] [site-home] |
SEC | 16 | 2026-09-18 | |
| M3 | Basic medical licence Matched by name (surname stem and given name or initial; a second identifier where the name is ambiguous). Matched by name in the CMH colegiados listado: the register holds exactly one row combining the given name and the surname published by the clinic (MAX EDUARDO, AMAYA GUARDADO); the register carries no number, specialty or status column, so the match supports colegiación only. [cmh] |
OFF | 8 | 2026-09-18 | |
| M4 | Facility registration Could not verify — this register is closed to machine queries in this country, so the axis is left out of the coverage calculation for every clinic on this site. Not a negative finding. Reason: Register closed to machine queries. Last attempt: none_found, 18 September 2026 — SESAL licence portal re-probed: HTTP 200 but a 639-byte account-only SPA behind Cloudflare Turnstile whose route table has no consultation view, and the SOL API answers 404 on every consultation path. No secondary route exists: the IAIP transparency portal answers the Cloudflare challenge (HTTP 403, "Just a moment..."), OpenCorporates answers HTTP 403, and ARSA licenses products, not health-service establishments. The clinic publishes no licencia sanitaria number of its own. |

| 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. The clinic's own pages name no legal entity and publish no company registration number; the practice is presented under the physician's name alone. Pages loaded for this scan: home, acerca-de and toxina-botulinica, loaded 2026-09-18. [site-home] [site-about] |
SEC | 8 | 2026-09-18 | |
| M6 | Self-disclosure of identifiers No identifiers at all. No physician licence number, facility number or legal-entity number is published anywhere on the site. Pages loaded for this scan: home, acerca-de and toxina-botulinica, loaded 2026-09-18. [site-home] [site-about] |
SEC | 10 | 2026-09-18 | |
| 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. The homepage uses the verb garantizar about natural and safe results in the sense of ensuring them; read as an assurance formula rather than a literal outcome guarantee (operator reading 2026-09-19, owner ruling pending). Pages loaded for this scan: home, acerca-de and toxina-botulinica, loaded 2026-09-18. [site-home] garantiza resultados naturales y seguros |
SEC | 12 | 2026-09-19 | |
| M8 | Cross-locale consistency Could not verify — no points, counts against coverage, not a negative finding. Reason: Single language front. Last attempt: clinic_site, 19 September 2026 — one language front; no hreflang alternates or language links The clinic site publishes one language front; nothing to compare. |

Score ceilings
No ceiling applies. We never apply one on 'not found' alone.
Holds
No hold on this profile.
Inclusion policy
Four mechanical conditions. The first three decide whether a clinic is listed at all; the fourth decides whether it can be scored.
| Identifiable: live public surface + working in-country contact | verified yes [site-about] |
|---|---|
| Provides the service itself (not an aggregator, booking site or tour packager) | verified yes [site-home] |
| In scope: the intervention is performed by a physician | verified yes [site-home] |
| Names a responsible physician | verified yes [site-about] |
Who is responsible
Named physicians and the legal entity, as published and as matched in the registers. A missing number is a statement about disclosure, not about licensing.
| Physician | Role | Register ID |
|---|---|---|
| Dr. Max Amaya [site-about] | Cirujano plástico | not published |
Legal entity: could not verify
Scope and procedure segments
Clinic focus: specialist (no focus adjustment) [site-home]
What we could not verify
- M4 · Facility registration — Register closed to machine queries
- 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.
