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, status current; the registered specialty matches what this physician advertises. The Ärztekammer Hamburg Arztsuche lists the surgeon at Falkenried 88 with the branches 'Plastische Chirurgie' and 'Chirurgie' and the practice website, matching what the practice advertises. [register-aekhh] |
OFF | 26 | 2026-09-20 | |
| M2 | Identifiability of the responsible physician Physician(s) named with role and tied to this address. The practice owner is named with his professional titles and tied to the practice address. [site] [site-impressum] |
SEC | 16 | 2026-09-20 | |
| M3 | Basic medical licence Could not verify — no points, counts against coverage, not a negative finding. Reason: Queried, no match. Last attempt: medical_licence, 20 September 2026 — No matching entry. 116117 lists physicians in statutory-insurance (Vertrags-) practice only, so a purely private aesthetic practice is legitimately absent — absence is never read as unlicensed. |
? | ? | 8 | 2026-09-20 |
| M4 | Facility registration Could not verify — by its own definition this register does not cover this class of facility or this territory, so the axis is left out of the coverage calculation for this record. Not a negative finding. Reason: Register does not cover this class of facility or this territory. Last attempt: none_found, 22 September 2026 — § A: the register of this class does not cover this unit by its own definition (scopeGap in the map); previous state null not_found. |
? | ? | 10 | 2026-09-20 |
| M5 | Legal-entity traceability The legal entity is named; the register of this class is not accessible or does not cover this legal form (sole practitioner, private practice). The Impressum names the physician under his own name; no legal form or company registration is published. [v1.3 2026-09-22: 3] [site-impressum] |
SEC | 8 | 2026-09-22 | |
| M6 | Self-disclosure of identifiers Logos without numbers. Three professional titles are published with their issuing chambers and the chamber of membership is named; the Impressum states that no VAT identification number has been assigned, and no other numbers are shown. [site-impressum] |
SEC | 10 | 2026-09-20 | |
| M7 | Advertising honesty No pattern from the lexicon found. Lexicon scan of the home page, the physician page, two procedure pages, the contact page, the Impressum and the privacy notice; no guarantee, no absolute-safety wording and no unattributed superlative found in the practice's own text. [site] [site-services] |
SEC | 12 | 2026-09-20 | |
| 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 | 2026-09-20 |
| M9 | Patient documents Two or three. The procedure pages describe the pre-operative consultation and the explanation of possible risks, and set out the follow-up checks; no revision policy and no complaint route are published. [site-services] |

Score ceilings
No ceiling applies. We never apply one on 'not found' alone.

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.
