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: secpre_pichincha, 18 September 2026 — found for four of the seven surgeons named on the hospital's plastic-surgery page. SECPRE Capítulo Pichincha publishes profiles for Dr. Ivo Ricardo Moreno (consulting room 'Hospital Axxis, 10 de Agosto', Reg. Senescyt: 1715823009), Dr. Sergio Vallejo (Reg. Senescyt: 4841213944), Dra. Guadalupe Santamaría (Reg. Senescyt: 1006-14-4834) and Dr. Jhon Jairo Gavilanes (Reg. Scyt: 1027-2020-2169716); Vaca Escobar, Sevilla Muñoz and Romero Orbe are not in the directory. No ISAPS Ecuador entries. Association provenance, carried as facts. |

SEC | 16 | 2026-08-31 | |
| 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: secpre_pichincha, 18 September 2026 — no number published by the hospital itself. The SECPRE Capítulo Pichincha directory publishes Reg. Senescyt numbers for four of its seven named surgeons (1715823009, 4841213944, 1006-14-4834, 1027-2020-2169716), but an association directory is secondary provenance and the numbers are degree registrations, not ACESS practising registrations — recorded as a fact on M1, not as a licence value. |
? | ? | 8 | 2026-09-18 |
| M4 | Facility registration 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: clinic_published_permit, 18 September 2026 — no operating-permit number is published on the clinic's own pages, and the SRI establishment endpoint cannot be entered without a RUC — the clinic publishes none — and would in any case prove only a registered tax establishment, never a health permit. |

| 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. A complete scan of the clinic's own pages found no legal entity and no registration number — the hospital trades under the name Axxis Hospital, a trading name without a company form, and no RUC is published anywhere on the site.

Secondary findings (not scored)
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.

- 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.
