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). [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 MED6540 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://drvictorurzola.com/, https://drvictorurzola.com/about/, https://drvictorurzola.com/contact/, https://drvictorurzola.com/privacy-policy/, https://drvictorurzola.com/payment-policy/). 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. Superlative-sounding statements found on the site are attributed patient testimonials, out of scope for this axis; no lexicon pattern found in the clinic's own text. [site] |
SEC | 12 | 2026-08-31 | |
| M8 | Cross-locale consistency All load-bearing fields agree. Mechanical comparison of 2 language fronts (en, es) on 2026-09-20: every matched physician name, phone number and published number appears on every front. [fronts] |
SEC | 5 | 2026-09-20 | |
| M9 | Patient documents None. |
