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.

SEC | 16 | 2026-09-24 | |
| M3 | Basic medical licence Could not verify — this register is closed to machine queries in this country, so the axis is left out of the coverage calculation for every clinic on this site. Not a negative finding. Reason: Register closed to machine queries. Last attempt: clinic_self_published, 24 September 2026 — The site points patients to the Registro Nacional de Prestadores Individuales and CONACEM to check a surgeon, but publishes no registration or licence number of its own on the pages loaded. The state RNPI licence register does not accept a connection from this network (laptop probe 2026-09-24: TCP timeout on rnpi.superdesalud.gob.cl). Secondary route run: The site points patients to the Registro Nacional de Prestadores Individuales and CONACEM to check a surgeon, but publishes no registration or licence number of its own on the pages loaded. read via crawler |

| M4 | Facility registration Could not verify — no points, counts against coverage, not a negative finding. Reason: Queried, no match.

| 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. Completed scan: no razón social, RUT or legal form is published on any of the 69 pages loaded; the practice presents itself under the surgeon’s name only (brand only). read via crawler [site] [site-contact] |

SEC | 10 | 2026-09-24 | |
| 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. Safety wording without an absolute recurs across the procedure pages ("Cirugía Segura" as a section heading on several pages, "rápido y seguro en manos experimentadas"); superlatives appear inside patient testimonials, which are not counted. Scan: 69 pages of the practice’s site loaded on 2026-09-24 (list in axes.M7.pages). read via crawler [site-bichectomia] Es un procedimiento rápido y seguro en manos experimentadas |

| M8 | Cross-locale consistency Could not verify — no points, counts against coverage, not a negative finding. Reason: Single language front. Last attempt: clinic_site, 24 September 2026 — one language front; no hreflang alternates or language links The clinic site publishes one language front; nothing to compare. |

| M9 | Patient documents Two or three. Two of the five document classes are published under headings: aftercare ("Cuidados Post Operatorios" on the pre- and post-operative page, day-by-day post-operative guidance) and risks ("Posibles complicaciones").

What we could not verify
- M3 · Basic medical licence — Register closed to machine queries
- M4 · Facility registration — Queried, no match
- 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.
