Google Maps listing (reference, not scored)
What the clinic's public Google Maps listing showed when we read it: the rating other people gave, the number of their reviews and the hours the clinic itself publishes there. This block is a reference only — it does not enter the score, the rank, the ceilings or the holds, and we have not checked it beyond matching the listing to this record.

| Axis | Finding (rubric anchor) | Value | Source class | Weight | Checked |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| M1 | Specialist certification of the responsible physician Found, status current; the registered specialty matches what this physician advertises. KMPDC register row 'Dr ANNE WANGUI WAITHAKA', qualifications MBChB(Nairobi)2012; , M.Med(Plast.Surg)(Nairobi)2021, License Type 'Specialist Practice', Specialty 'PLASTIC & RECONSTRUCTIVE SURGERY', Status 'ACTIVE'. [kmpdc-lmp] |
OFF | 26 | 2026-09-18 | |
| M2 | Identifiability of the responsible physician Physician(s) named with role and tied to this address. Named in the site title, the header and the practice profile, with her role and training. [site] |
SEC | 16 | 2026-09-18 | |
| M3 | Basic medical licence Matched by name (surname stem and given name or initial; a second identifier where the name is ambiguous). Matched by name in the same register, Status ACTIVE; the public table masks registration numbers. [kmpdc-lmp] |
OFF | 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 — The one WAITHAKA row is a nursing clinic named after the Nairobi suburb, unrelated to this practice; 0 rows for WANGUI. Recorded as queried, no match. |
? | ? | 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 practice publishes no legal entity name or company number on its own pages (loaded 2026-09-18: home and a procedure page); the practice name only. [site] |
SEC | 8 | 2026-09-18 | |
| M6 | Self-disclosure of identifiers No identifiers at all. No licence, registration or certificate numbers published on the practice's own pages. [site] |
SEC | 10 | 2026-09-18 | |
| M7 | Advertising honesty Systematic superlatives; systematic safety promises without an absolute; absolutes about the past (success rates, “no infection since …”, satisfaction figures, “we guarantee your satisfaction”); comparisons with surgery. Lexicon scan of the practice's own text: superlatives without an issuer run through the profile section of the home page; no guarantee and no outcome promise. [site] A Pioneer in Plastic Surgery |
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. Patient-document scan (home and the procedure pages): none of the five classes (consent, risks, aftercare, revision policy, complaint route) is published. [site] |

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.
