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: gobierno-specialists, 17 September 2026 — secondary source names the physician (former M1 = 2); shown on the profile as a fact — M1 is not scored while the country's specialist register is closed [register note, not shown: The Aruban specialist register is not machine-accessible (registry map: specialist_board access "form").

| M2 | Identifiability of the responsible physician Physician(s) named with role and tied to this address. |
SEC | 16 | 2026-09-02 | |
| 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: bigregister-nl, 17 September 2026 — The Netherlands register returns no entry for this physician. The Aruban AruBIG register (the medical_licence class) answered HTTP 403 from this egress, the clinic publishes no AruBIG number (so rubric anchor 3 does not apply), and a Netherlands registration is not the Aruban licence. |

| 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: none_found, 17 September 2026 — ZA-register answered HTTP 403 (Cloudflare) again from this egress; no secondary route lists Aruban care facilities - the inspectorate publishes policy without naming institutions and the trade register is a commercial register, not a facility licence. |
? | ? | 10 | 2026-09-17 |
| 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. Matched by trade name and address in the Aruba Chamber of Commerce register; the clinic does not publish its registration number. [kvk] |
OFF | 8 | 2026-09-02 | |
| M6 | Self-disclosure of identifiers Logos without numbers. One physician's Netherlands register (BIG) is named without a number; no other identifiers published. [site] |
SEC | 10 | 2026-09-02 | |
| M7 | Advertising honesty No pattern from the lexicon found. No guarantee or superlative language found across the home, about, contact, testimonials and two procedure pages checked. [site] |
SEC | 12 | 2026-09-02 | |
| M8 | Cross-locale consistency Could not verify — no points, counts against coverage, not a negative finding. Reason: Single language front. Last attempt: clinic_site, 19 September 2026 — one language front; no hreflang alternates or language links The clinic site publishes one language front; nothing to compare. |

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.
