| 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. PMDC register: named physician found with a basic medical qualification (M.B.,B.S., 2007) only; no specialist qualification is disclosed on the register. [pmdc] |
OFF | 26 | 2026-08-31 | |
| M2 | Identifiability of the responsible physician Physician(s) named with role and tied to this address. |
SEC | 16 | 2026-08-31 | |
| M3 | Basic medical licence Matched by name (surname stem and given name or initial; a second identifier where the name is ambiguous). Matched by PMDC registration number 54661-P, Permanent, ValidUpto 05/01/2030, Status ACTIVE. [v1.3 2026-09-22: the number is not printed on the clinic's own pages (audit not_published) — matched by name] [pmdc] |
OFF | 8 | 2026-09-22 | |
| M4 | Facility registration Record found: name, address and status match. Punjab Healthcare Commission record R-74773 'Cosmolux Skin, Hair Clinic' at 22-Pak Block, Main Boulevard, Allama Iqbal Town, Lahore, Person_Name 'Dr. Asif Rauf' — name, address and registered person match. [facility] |
OFF | 10 | 2026-08-31 | |
| 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 clinic's own pages (home, about-us) name no legal entity with a legal form; brand name only. [site] |
SEC | 8 | 2026-09-18 | |
| M6 | Self-disclosure of identifiers No identifiers at all. |
SEC | 10 | 2026-08-31 | |
| M7 | Advertising honesty No pattern from the lexicon found. Completed scan of the clinic's own pages found no lexicon pattern from the clinic's own text; the only superlative-style wording on the page appears inside embedded patient-review testimonials, not the clinic's own claims. [site] |
SEC | 12 | 2026-09-18 | |
| M8 | Cross-locale consistency Could not verify — no points, counts against coverage, not a negative finding. Reason: Single language front. Last attempt: clinic_site, 18 September 2026 — one language front; no hreflang alternates or language links The clinic site publishes one language front; nothing to compare. |
? | ? | 5 | 2026-09-18 |
| M9 | Patient documents One. One of five document classes published: aftercare (about-us page states consultations cover "the process, the expected results, and the aftercare"). No informed-consent form, risk/contraindication disclosure, revision policy or complaint route found. [site] |

Score ceilings
No ceiling applies. We never apply one on 'not found' alone.
Holds
No hold on this profile.
Inclusion policy
Four mechanical conditions. The first three decide whether a clinic is listed at all; the fourth decides whether it can be scored.

|---|---|

Who is responsible

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.
