| 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. Matched by registration number in HPCSA iRegister: ACTIVE, category contains SPECIALIST and PLASTIC AND RECONSTRUCTIVE SURGERY, matching the advertised segment. [hpcsa-brakovsky] |
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 licence number: ACTIVE "INDEPENDENT PRACTICE MEDICAL PRACTITIONER" row in the same register. [v1.3 2026-09-22: the number is not printed on the clinic's own pages (audit not_published) — matched by name] [hpcsa-brakovsky] |

| M4 | Facility registration Not applicable: this country has no Facility register. |
— | — | — | 2026-09-20 |
| M5 | Legal-entity traceability The legal entity is named; the register of this class is not accessible or does not cover this legal form (sole practitioner, private practice). CIPC Enterprise Search is login-gated (map closedAttempt) and its hosts do not answer this network; no secondary company route exists for South Africa, so the cell is scored on what the clinic itself publishes. The hospital group site names its legal entity with a legal form; no company registration number is published.

SEC | 8 | 2026-09-20 | |
| M6 | Self-disclosure of identifiers No identifiers at all. No licence, facility or legal-entity registration numbers published on the site. [site] |
SEC | 10 | 2026-08-31 | |
| M7 | Advertising honesty No pattern from the lexicon found. |
SEC | 12 | 2026-08-31 | |
| M8 | Cross-locale consistency Could not verify — no points, counts against coverage, not a negative finding. Reason: Single language front. Last attempt: clinic_site, 17 September 2026 — one language front; no hreflang alternates or language links The clinic site publishes one language front; nothing to compare. |

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.
