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 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: ods, 18 September 2026 — No match on either secondary route: the international society directory holds only two Oman-located members (Dr. Sheikhan Al Hashmi, Dr. Gopal Malhotra) and the society roster names none of this record’s physicians. Absence carries no information about certification — both lists are small and skewed. The country’s own specialist register (hakeem.omsb.gov.om) is login-gated (closedAttempt on record), so M1 is not scored anywhere on this site (methodology v1.2 § 7). |

| M2 | Identifiability of the responsible physician Physician(s) named with role and tied to this address. Two owner-physicians named with roles; one is tied to the Azaiba clinic by name. [site] |

| 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. |

SEC | 10 | 2026-08-30 | |
| M7 | Advertising honesty Systematic superlatives; systematic safety promises without an absolute; absolutes about the past (success rates, “no infection since …”, satisfaction figures, “we guarantee your satisfaction”); comparisons with surgery. Lexicon scan of the pages loaded on 2026-09-18 (home, /about, /contact, /ar): unissued superlatives run through the whole site — «premier», «world-class laser systems», «International standards of clinical excellence» — with no guarantee or 100 %-class statement. The award lines carry named issuers (Ministry of Health, OMTB) and are not counted as superlatives. [site] [site-about] A premier dermatology and laser center with clinics in Muscat and Salalah — where board-certified specialists, advanced technology, and treatments like Botox, dermal fillers, and bespoke skincare restore confidence to every skin. |

What we could not verify
- M1 · Specialist certification of the responsible physician — Register closed to machine queries
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.
