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. CMC register: Activo, Cirugía Plástica y Reconstructiva (fs=5329); the register itself lists the clinic location as Escazú. [cmc] |
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). Licence MED6040 matched, status Activo. [v1.3 2026-09-22: the number is not printed on the clinic's own pages (audit not_published) — matched by name] [cmc] |
OFF | 8 | 2026-09-22 | |
| M4 | Facility registration Not applicable: this country has no Facility register. |
— | — | — | 2026-09-20 |
| 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 trades under a brand name only: no company name with a legal form and no cedula juridica is published on any of its pages (https://www.drandrescastrillon.com/). The Hacienda taxpayer register answers on an identification number, so there is nothing to look up. [site] |
SEC | 8 | 2026-09-20 | |
| M6 | Self-disclosure of identifiers No identifiers at all. |
SEC | 10 | 2026-08-31 | |
| M7 | Advertising honesty No pattern from the lexicon found. Full scan of the clinic site in Spanish (https://www.drandrescastrillon.com/, which carries the whole practice on one page, plus the three remaining URLs in its sitemap). No superlative, guarantee or outcome promise from the lexicon appears in the clinic's own copy. [site] |
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, 20 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. Homepage lists explicit pre-surgery risk/anaesthesia FAQ headings; no consent form, 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.
| Identifiable: live public surface + working in-country contact | verified yes [site] |
|---|---|
| Provides the service itself (not an aggregator, booking site or tour packager) | verified yes [site] |
| In scope: the intervention is performed by a physician | verified yes [site] |
| Names a responsible physician | verified yes [site] |
Who is responsible
Named physicians and the legal entity, as published and as matched in the registers. A missing number is a statement about disclosure, not about licensing.

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.
