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.

OFF | 10 | 2026-08-30 | |
| M5 | Legal-entity traceability Only a brand, without a legal form and without a responsible person. Whatever we find ourselves is shown on the profile as a fact and does not raise this cell. The practice trades under the physician’s own name and publishes no legal entity: no company name with a legal form, no company number and no New Zealand Business Number on any of its pages (home, Info Sheets and all five condition information sheets), including the footer that repeats on every page.

SEC | 8 | 2026-09-20 | |
| M6 | Self-disclosure of identifiers Logos without numbers. |
SEC | 10 | 2026-08-30 | |

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 Two or three. Two of the five classes are published through the Information Sheets. Risks: each sheet has its own risk and complication section, including suitability and smoking. Aftercare: each sheet sets out recovery and the care needed after the operation. No consent material, no revision policy and no complaint route. Pages loaded: home, Information Sheets and all five condition sheets. [site] [site-info-sheets] [site-info-carpal] |

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.
