| Axis | Finding (rubric anchor) | Value | Source class | Weight | Checked |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| M1 | Specialist certification of the responsible physician Found, status current; the registered specialty is adjacent to what is advertised — a closed list: plastic and reconstructive surgery, dermatology, maxillofacial surgery, facial ENT, oculoplastic ophthalmology, general surgery, aesthetic or cosmetic medicine where it is a recognised specialty. BIG register: registration current under specialism 18, an ENT/facial-surgery registration adjacent to the clinic's advertised facial plastic-surgery scope. [big] |

| M3 | Basic medical licence Matched by name (surname stem and given name or initial; a second identifier where the name is ambiguous). Matched by name; the clinic does not publish the registration number. [big] |

| 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 clinic publishes its commercial registration number on its own privacy page and the facility register carries the same number and name; this legal form (maatschap) falls outside the scope of the KVK open-data company-status dataset.
