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.

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. Matched by surname and given name in the Ministry of Health's list of physicians permitted to practise the plastic-surgery specialty (registry code 1164021). [moh-list] |
OFF | 26 | 2026-08-30 | |
| M2 | Identifiability of the responsible physician Physician(s) named with role and tied to this address. |
SEC | 16 | 2026-08-30 | |
| 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: moh_plastic_order, 18 September 2026 — Secondary route moh_plastic_order run 2026-09-18: the responsible physician is on the order — row 18 „18. Kandal Sabahattin Yaser 1164021“. The second named surgeon (Op. Dr. Taha Mehmetoğlu) is not on it; the order covers the plastic-surgery specialty only and absence from it is not evidence about a physician. The order is not the register and carries no certificate number, so the finding is recorded in facts[] and the axis stays unscored. The Unified Register of Medical Personnel is reachable only through a personal account on kabinet.e-health.gov.az, which additionally refuses TCP connections from outside Azerbaijan; the axis is not scored for any record on this site. |

| M4 | Facility registration Record found: name, address and status match. Register match on legal name and registered address (Mustafa Kamal Atatürk prospekti 140), status current. [register] |
OFF | 10 | 2026-09-18 | |
| 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). The State Register of Commercial Legal Entities (e-taxes.gov.az) answers HTTP 403 to every scripted request and never serves its search form (registry-map closedAttempt, re-probed 2026-09-18), so the company register could not be queried. The operator legal entity and its VÖEN are named by the state in the Unified Register of Licences and Permits (secondary route lisenziya_holder). Rubric anchor: legal entity named, company register not accessible. [register] |
OFF | 8 | 2026-09-18 | |
| M6 | Self-disclosure of identifiers No identifiers at all. |
SEC | 10 | 2026-08-30 | |
| M7 | Advertising honesty No pattern from the lexicon found. Lexicon scan of the clinic’s own pages on 2026-09-21 (home, /about-us, /team and three team profile pages): no guarantee, 100%-class, best-without-issuer or unlimited-grafts pattern in the clinic’s own copy. [site-team] |
SEC | 12 | 2026-09-21 | |
| M8 | Cross-locale consistency Could not verify — no points, counts against coverage, not a negative finding. Reason: Single language front. Last attempt: clinic_site, 20 September 2026 — one language front; no hreflang alternates or language links The clinic site publishes one language front; nothing to compare. |
? | ? | 5 | 2026-09-18 |
| M9 | Patient documents None. No consent, risk, aftercare, revision-policy or complaint-route document found on the pages checked. [site-team] |

Four mechanical conditions. The first three decide whether a clinic is listed at all; the fourth decides whether it can be scored.

| In scope: the intervention is performed by a physician | verified yes [site-team] |
| Names a responsible physician | verified yes [site-team] |
Who is responsible
Named physicians and the legal entity, as published and as matched in the registers. A missing number is a statement about disclosure, not about licensing.

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
- M3 · Basic medical licence — Register closed to machine queries
- 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.
