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. Gazette register: Quetzal Magaña 0130/99 status 'Plastic & Reconstructive Surgeon'; Craig 0045/91 status 'Dermatologist'. Both match the advertised segment. [gazette] |
OFF | 26 | 2026-09-01 | |
| M2 | Identifiability of the responsible physician Physician(s) named with role and tied to this address. |
SEC | 16 | 2026-09-01 | |
| M3 | Basic medical licence Matched by name (surname stem and given name or initial; a second identifier where the name is ambiguous). Subject: Dr. Ricardo Quetzal, the first physician named for the advertised plastic-surgery service (v1.3 subject rule; the same physician carries M1). His hospital page (belizehealthcare.com/our-doctors/dr-ricardo-quetzal/, re-read 2026-09-24) prints no registration number, so the match is by name: Gazette row 'Quetzal Magaña 0130/99 Miguel Ricardo Medical Practitioner / General Surgeon / Plastic & Reconstructive Surgeon'. Dr. Peter Craig's page on the same site does print 'Registration Belize Medical Council – Reg. No. 0045/91', which matches his Gazette row 'Craig 0045/91 Peter George … Dermatologist'; that is a fact on the card, not the M3 subject. read via crawler [gazette] [site-quetzal] |

| M4 | Facility registration Not applicable: this country has no Facility register. |
— | — | — | 2026-09-24 |
| M5 | Legal-entity traceability The clinic names the legal entity or the responsible person in its legal notice and the record is found by name; or the number the clinic publishes leads to an entity with a different name that is tied to this location by the same address or the same responsible person. Company-name search matched 'Belize Healthcare Partners Limited'; the search returns name existence only, no registration number. [bccar] |
OFF | 8 | 2026-09-01 | |
| M6 | Self-disclosure of identifiers Physician numbers published; facility or legal-entity numbers not. Dr Craig's profile publishes his Medical Council registration number; the facility and Dr Quetzal's number are not published by the clinic. [site-craig] |
SEC | 10 | 2026-09-01 | |
| M7 | Advertising honesty One or two soft superlatives or non-absolute safety promises. One or two soft superlatives ('delivers outstanding care and service'; described as 'the leading local expert' in tropical dermatology) without outcome or safety guarantees. [site-plastic] [site-craig] |
SEC | 12 | 2026-09-01 | |
| M8 | Cross-locale consistency Could not verify — no points, counts against coverage, not a negative finding. Reason: Single language front. Last attempt: clinic_site, 19 September 2026 — one language front; no hreflang alternates or language links The clinic site publishes one language front; nothing to compare. |
? | ? | 5 | 2026-09-24 |
| M9 | Patient documents None. No consent, risk, aftercare, revision-policy or complaint-route documents found on the clinic's published pages. [site-plastic] [site-derm] |

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.
