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. PMDC register: named physician holds a DERMATOLOGY qualification (Diplomate, American Board of Dermatology, 2002), registration status ACTIVE. [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 22753-P, Permanent, ValidUpto 31/12/2027, 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-29009 'Cosmetique Clinic' at 34-B-1, Gulberg-III, Lahore, Person_Name 'Dr. Azim Jahangir Khan' (sister branches R-29010 DHA, R-37305 Johar Town under the same owner CNIC). [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 site (plain PHP pages, no dedicated about/privacy/terms page found in its own sitemap.xml) names 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 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. Systematic superlatives without a guarantee or '100%'-class statement: a rotating home-page tagline claims decades of pioneering standing, and body text claims the clinic is the pioneer/hub for the top-ranked hair-transplant surgeons in its city — both in the clinic's own visible text (not structured-data metadata). [site] we are known as the pioneers and hub of the best hair transplant surgeons in Lahore |
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 None. None of the five document classes (informed consent, risks/contraindications, aftercare, revision policy, complaint route) are published on the clinic's own home page or in its sitemap. [site] |

Inclusion policy
Four mechanical conditions. The first three decide whether a clinic is listed at all; the fourth decides whether it can be scored.

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.
