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 — no match for Norma Montero in the SECPRE Pichincha directory (62 profiles), the ISAPS Ecuador list (16 members) or the SECPRE Guayas roll (78 names). |
? | ? | 26 | 2026-09-18 |
| M2 | Identifiability of the responsible physician Physician(s) named with role and tied to this address. |
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 registration number published on the clinic's own pages, and no society route carries one for this physician (the SECPRE Guayas roll publishes names only; the SECPRE Pichincha directory has no entry for them; ISAPS publishes no numbers). |
? | ? | 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. |
? | ? | 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 physician's own name, a trading name without a company form, and no RUC is published anywhere on the site. Pages loaded 2026-09-18: https://dranormamontero.com, https://dranormamontero.com/sobre-nosotros/, https://dranormamontero.com/medicina-y-cirugia-estetica-facial-en-quito-dra-norma-montero/, https://dranormamontero.com/contactos/.

| M6 | Self-disclosure of identifiers No identifiers at all. |
SEC | 10 | 2026-08-31 | |
| M7 | Advertising honesty No pattern from the lexicon found. No guarantee, '100%', or unearned superlative language found on the pages reviewed. [site] |
SEC | 12 | 2026-08-31 | |
| M8 | Cross-locale consistency Could not verify — no points, counts against coverage, not a negative finding. Reason: Single language front. Last attempt: clinic_site, 18 September 2026 — one language front; no hreflang alternates or language links The clinic site publishes one language front; nothing to compare. |
? | ? | 5 | 2026-09-18 |
| M9 | Patient documents None. No consent, risk, aftercare, revision-policy or complaint-route content found on the pages reviewed. [site] |

Score ceilings
No ceiling applies. We never apply one on 'not found' alone.
Holds
No hold on this profile.
Inclusion policy
Four mechanical conditions. The first three decide whether a clinic is listed at all; the fourth decides whether it can be scored.
| Identifiable: live public surface + working in-country contact | verified yes [site] |
|---|---|
| Provides the service itself (not an aggregator, booking site or tour packager) | verified yes [site] |
| In scope: the intervention is performed by a physician | verified yes [site] |
| Names a responsible physician | verified yes [site] |
Who is responsible
Named physicians and the legal entity, as published and as matched in the registers. A missing number is a statement about disclosure, not about licensing.
| Physician | Role | Register ID |
|---|---|---|
| Dra. Norma Montero [site] | Plastic and aesthetic surgeon | not published |
Legal entity: could not verify
Scope and procedure segments
Clinic focus: aesthetic in general clinic (focus adjustment -2) [site]
What we could not verify
- M1 · Specialist certification of the responsible physician — Register closed to machine queries
- M3 · Basic medical licence — 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.
