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: nad, 18 September 2026 — The responsible physician is a dermatologist-cosmetologist: the dermatologists’ association site is unreachable (nad.org.ng answers a Cloudflare origin error, HTTP 522 then 526; five further candidate domains do not resolve). The plastic-surgery routes were also run: the NAPRAS surname search returns no member and the ISAPS Nigeria list does not include her. Nothing was retrieved about her certification and nothing is claimed. |
? | ? | 26 | 2026-09-18 |
| M2 | Identifiability of the responsible physician Physician(s) named with role and tied to this address. The clinic’s own about page names the physician who runs it, with her qualification and role, and ties her to this clinic. [site] |
SEC | 16 | 2026-09-18 | |
| 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: napras, 18 September 2026 — MDCN’s free public lookup answers HTTP 500 to every query and its portal route is fee- and account-gated, so no licence record can be read. The NAPRAS surname search (POST lastname=Youssef) returns no member, the ISAPS Nigeria list does not include her, and the dermatologists’ association site is unreachable. The clinic publishes no MDCN folio number. |
? | ? | 8 | 2026-09-18 |
| M4 | Facility registration Could not verify — no points, counts against coverage, not a negative finding. Reason: Queried, no match. Last attempt: facility_registry, 18 September 2026 — 0 rows for the trading name; the full Lagos listing carries no facility under this name and none at the Eko Atlantic address. |
? | ? | 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. The clinic’s own pages name no legal entity: the footer and the privacy policy carry the trading name only. [site] |
SEC | 8 | 2026-09-18 | |
| M6 | Self-disclosure of identifiers Logos without numbers. Certification claims are displayed as labels — the products and treatments are described as approved by the FDA and bearing the CE mark — but no verifiable number is published for the clinic, the physician or the company. Pages loaded 2026-09-18: /, /about-us/, /contact/, /privacy-policy/, /procedures/, /procedure/botox-wrinkles-smoothing/, /locations/abuja/. [site] |
SEC | 10 | 2026-09-18 | |
| M7 | Advertising honesty One or two soft superlatives or non-absolute safety promises. Two soft superlatives recur, one about the products used and one in a heading about the physician; no outcome guarantee was found. [site] the best worldwide products and treatments |
SEC | 12 | 2026-09-18 | |
| 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. None of the five document classes is published: no informed consent, risks/contraindications, aftercare, revision policy or complaint route was found. Pages loaded 2026-09-18: /, /about-us/, /contact/, /privacy-policy/, /procedures/, /procedure/botox-wrinkles-smoothing/, /locations/abuja/. [site] |

What we could not verify

- M3 · Basic medical licence — Register closed to machine queries
- M4 · Facility registration — Queried, no match
- 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.
