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). |

| M5 | Legal-entity traceability Only a brand, without a legal form and without a responsible person. Whatever we find ourselves is shown on the profile as a fact and does not raise this cell. Brand only: the pages loaded on 2026-09-18 (the cosmetic-dermatology department page, /about-us, /contact-us and the home page) name «Saada Hospital» and nothing else — no company name, no legal form, no registration number. The national commercial register was re-probed the same day and is still CAPTCHA-gated; the open municipal licence guide covers Muscat governorate only. [site] |
SEC | 8 | 2026-09-18 | |
| M6 | Self-disclosure of identifiers No identifiers at all. No licence, registration or physician numbers published on the department, doctor or contact pages. [site] |
SEC | 10 | 2026-08-30 | |
| M7 | Advertising honesty One or two soft superlatives or non-absolute safety promises. One ranking claim without a named issuer in the department text. [site] As one of the leading cosmetic clinics in Sohar, we offer some of the most advanced methods of aesthetic enrichment. |

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.
