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.

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 in the register with a current status; the register does not disclose the specialty, or discloses a different one (including “no specialisation”), and the clinic claims no protected title. The register's own line is shown on the profile. Found in the register, vocational scope General Practice, status Practising; this is a lawful basis for cosmetic-medicine practice in New Zealand, which has no separate cosmetic-medicine scope. [mcnz] |
OFF | 26 | 2026-08-30 | |
| M2 | Identifiability of the responsible physician Physician(s) named with role and tied to this address. Sole named clinician, role and this clinic address published together. [site] |
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). Register status Practising, certificate current to 31 May 2027, no conditions. [v1.3 2026-09-22: the number is not printed on the clinic's own pages (audit no_number_on_record) — matched by name] [mcnz] |
OFF | 8 | 2026-09-22 | |
| M4 | Facility registration Could not verify — no points, counts against coverage, not a negative finding. Reason: Queried, no match. Last attempt: facility_registry, 20 September 2026 — 0 matching rows Register queried this pass, no record found. Absence from this register means the clinic is not a certified hospital, not that it is unlicensed. |
? | ? | 10 | 2026-09-20 |
| 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. Legal entity register: Ashley Aesthetics Limited, company status Registered, registered office matches the clinic's own advertised address. [v1.3 2026-09-22: the number is not printed on the clinic pages (audit not_published); the clinic names the entity at https://ashleyaesthetics.co.nz/ — matched by name] [companies] |
OFF | 8 | 2026-09-22 | |
| M6 | Self-disclosure of identifiers Physician numbers published; facility or legal-entity numbers not. Site names professional-body memberships (Royal NZ College of GPs, NZ Society of Cosmetic Medicine diploma) without a numeric identifier. [site] |
SEC | 10 | 2026-08-30 | |
| 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. Lexicon scan of the whole site (home, About, Treatments and every treatment page, Contact, Terms & Conditions, Privacy, Shipping and Returns): a recurring pattern of unattributed superlatives across page titles, the home page and the treatment pages, with no issuer named. No outcome or safety guarantee: where safety is discussed the pages qualify it, the filler page stating that no medical procedure is ever free of risk, and the two uses of the word ensure are in the sense of making sure.

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, 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 One. The clinic's own terms page covers cancellation, payment and privacy but no consent, risk, aftercare, revision-policy or complaints text was found. [site-terms] |

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.
