| Axis | Finding (rubric anchor) | Value | Source class | Weight | Checked |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| M1 | Specialist certification of the responsible physician Found in the register with a current status; the register does not disclose the specialty, or discloses a different one (including “no specialisation”), and the clinic claims no protected title. The register's own line is shown on the profile. Dr. J. Pablo Neruda found on the Tamil Nadu Medical Council register via the NMC national cross-check (reg. 57138, 1996; parent name "N Jagadeesan" matches the "J." initial); the NMC national list does not disclose specialty. Dr. P.M. Praveen Kumar could not be confirmed this pass. [nmc] |
OFF | 26 | 2026-09-18 | |
| M2 | Identifiability of the responsible physician Named; role unclear. Two surgeons named with role ("Plastic Surgeon") on the department page and tied to this address; individual qualifications are not published. [site] |
SEC | 16 | 2026-08-29 | |
| M3 | Basic medical licence Matched by name (surname stem and given name or initial; a second identifier where the name is ambiguous). Same NMC record as M1: matched by name, Tamil Nadu Medical Council registration 57138 (1996). [nmc] |

| M4 | Facility registration Not applicable: this country has no Facility register. |
— | — | — | 2026-08-30 |
| 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). Legal entity named by both NABH ("Billroth Hospitals Limited") and the clinic's own terms page ("Billroth Hospitals Pvt Ltd"); the MCA company register is not machine-accessible and no working secondary route was found this pass.

OFF | 8 | 2026-09-18 | |
| M6 | Self-disclosure of identifiers No identifiers at all. No licence, registration or certification numbers published on the reviewed pages. [site] |
SEC | 10 | 2026-08-29 | |
| M7 | Advertising honesty One or two soft superlatives or non-absolute safety promises. Two soft superlatives ("internationally recognised", "pioneering") about the team, no guarantee found; re-fetched 2026-09-18. [site] internationally recognised for their pioneering work in Aesthetic (Cosmetic) Surgery |
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 | 2026-08-30 |

Secondary findings (not scored)
What a professional society, an international directory, a hospital page or another jurisdiction’s register says, shown for information where the country’s own register is closed. These facts enter neither the score nor the coverage.

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.
