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.

| M1 | Specialist certification of the responsible physician Found, status current; the registered specialty matches what this physician advertises. MBTT National Register, specialty filter Plastic Surgery (speciality=133): 'Dr. Ravindra Mahais Lalla' (member_id=10368), Status 'Specialist Registration - Plastic Surgery', registered 01-07-1995 — the registered specialty matches the cosmetic and plastic surgery service the hospital lists him under.

| M2 | Identifiability of the responsible physician Physician(s) named with role and tied to this address. The hospital’s doctors directory names the consultant under the cosmetic and plastic surgery heading with his role, and publishes a single hospital address. [site-doctors] |
SEC | 16 | 2026-09-19 | |
| 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 national medical register; the hospital publishes no registration number. [mbtt] [mbtt-detail] |

| 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 hospital’s contact block names the operating company; the Companies Registry returns SOUTHERN MEDICAL SERVICES COMPANY LIMITED, S2104(C), RecordStatus ACTIVE (CONTINUED), at the same street address. The hospital does not publish the company number itself. [company] [site-contact] |
OFF | 8 | 2026-09-19 | |
| M6 | Self-disclosure of identifiers Logos without numbers. The operating companies are named in the about text and the contact block, but no company, facility or physician registration number is published on the pages loaded. [site-about] [site-contact] |
SEC | 10 | 2026-09-19 | |
| 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. Superlative marketing language recurs on the home, about and services pages; the quoted heading is one instance. No outcome guarantee and no absolute safety or success statement found.

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. |

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.
