| 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. Board register: vocational scope Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery, status Practising, current practising certificate. [mcnz] |
OFF | 26 | 2026-08-30 | |

SEC | 16 | 2026-08-30 | |
| 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 on the medical register; status Practising, Conditions: None. [mcnz] |
OFF | 8 | 2026-08-30 | |
| M4 | Facility registration Found with a spelling discrepancy; or the location is registered under the name of the host facility at the same address (a practice inside a hospital or a centre); or the value comes from a mirror or from a directory that shows no status — the profile names the record holder verbatim. Facility named by the clinic (Ormiston Surgical Centre) matched in the facility register with a name variant (register: Ormiston Surgical & Endoscopy); address matches. [healthcert] |
OFF | 10 | 2026-08-30 | |
| 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.

OFF | 8 | 2026-08-30 | |
| M6 | Self-disclosure of identifiers Partial, without issuers. Fellowship and further training named with issuing institutions; no identifier number published. [site] |
SEC | 10 | 2026-08-30 | |
| M7 | Advertising honesty One or two soft superlatives or non-absolute safety promises. One or two soft superlatives on the clinic’s own page. [site] |
SEC | 12 | 2026-08-30 | |
| M8 | Cross-locale consistency Could not verify — no points, counts against coverage, not a negative finding. Reason: Single language front. Last attempt: clinic_site, 17 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 None. Complete scan of the practice site (home, Profile, Procedures, Contact, News, Links and both news posts): none of the five document classes is published. The Procedures page describes the operations and refers the reader to the practice and to external bodies for further information. [site] [site-procedures] |

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.
