Google Maps listing (reference, not scored)
What the clinic's public Google Maps listing showed when we read it: the rating other people gave, the number of their reviews and the hours the clinic itself publishes there. This block is a reference only — it does not enter the score, the rank, the ceilings or the holds, and we have not checked it beyond matching the listing to this record.

| M5 | Legal-entity traceability The clinic names the legal entity or the responsible person in its legal notice and the record is found by name; or the number the clinic publishes leads to an entity with a different name that is tied to this location by the same address or the same responsible person. The FAQ names the operating company with its legal form, without a company number; the Companies Registry returns SERPENTINE DERMATOLOGY SERVICES LIMITED, C2016051806200, PROFIT COMPANY, ACTIVE, registered 16/05/2016, at #4 Serpentine Road, St. Clair — the clinic address. read via crawler [site-faq] [company] Name of company: Serpentine Dermatology Services Ltd |

SEC | 10 | 2026-09-24 | |
| M7 | Advertising honesty An unconditional absolute about the patient's future safety or the treatment outcome — zero risk, no complications, “100% safe”, “result guaranteed” — in the clinic's own rendered text (bright line; cap 65). The practice’s own text states absence of scarring as the outcome of a treatment it offers (lexicon class M7-B, as across the fleet). Also on the page: a patient-satisfaction figure. The clinic may reply with a correction and a source. read via crawler [site-laser] The directed beam of the GentleMax Pro permeates the wart’s tissue and eradicates it with very little discomfort and no scarring. |

| M8 | Cross-locale consistency Could not verify — no points, counts against coverage, not a negative finding. Reason: Single language front. Last attempt: clinic_site, 24 September 2026 — one language front; no hreflang alternates or language links The clinic site publishes one language front; nothing to compare. |

| M9 | Patient documents One. One class is published under labelled controls: aftercare (the forms page links post-care instruction sheets, e.g. laser tattoo removal aftercare, post biopsy and post excision care). No control labelled as consent, risks, revision policy or complaint route was found on the pages loaded: home, staff, founder, dermatology, laser treatment, forms, FAQ, appointments, clinic. read via crawler [site-forms] Laser Tattoo Removal Aftercare |

Score ceilings
- Outcome guarantee or ‘100% safe’-class statement — ceiling 65/100The clinic's own page https://serpentine-dermatology.com/laser-treatment (en, 2026-09-24) states: “The directed beam of the GentleMax Pro permeates the wart’s tissue and eradicates it with very little discomfort and no scarring.”. Under this methodology an outcome guarantee caps the score at 65.[site-laser]
Ceilings are applied only from verified-false findings with the exact quote or register entry cited. The clinic has a right of reply; a statement with a source changes the data, a statement without one is shown next to it.

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.
