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 in both rolls. SECPRE Capítulo Pichincha publishes a profile for Dr. Leonardo Morales with specialty 'Cirugía Plástica, Reconstructiva y Estética', the awarding university and the consulting room 'Centro Médico Integral AXXIS, consultorio 308' — the address the clinic publishes — and the ISAPS Ecuador list carries the card 'Dr. Leonardo Morales', practice 'Centro médico integral AXXIS', Quito. Association provenance, carried as facts. |

SEC | 16 | 2026-08-31 | |
| M3 | Basic medical licence The register of this class is not machine-accessible or does not cover this class of practitioner; the clinic itself publishes the number. The clinic publishes the surgeon's own registration number on his about page, and the SECPRE Capítulo Pichincha directory publishes the same number for him ('Reg. Scyt: 1027-2024-2810706'). The national licence register (ACESS) is captcha-gated, so the number could not be checked against it. [site] Registro de la SENESCYT 1027-2024-2810706. |

| 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. |
? | ? | 10 | 2026-09-18 |
| 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 practice trades under the surgeon's own name, a trading name without a company form, and no RUC is published anywhere on the site.

What we could not verify
- M1 · Specialist certification of the responsible physician — Register closed to machine queries
- M4 · Facility registration — 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.

Change history
| Date | Change |
|---|---|
| 18 September 2026 | axes.M5: null → 2 (Re-run on the v1.2 M5 ladder (pass 1): a completed scan of the clinic's own pages is a rubric value, not a miss — the clinic names no legal entity (brand only)) |
| 18 September 2026 | axes.M4: null → null (Re-typed from retry to registry_closed (v1.2 pass 1): the ACESS facility register is captcha-gated behind a geo-block and the secondary routes were run) |
| 18 September 2026 | axes.M3: null → 3 (Re-run against the closed ACESS licence register (v1.2 pass 1): the clinic itself publishes the physician's registration number, so the v1.2 anchor M3 = 3 applies) |
