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.

| M1 | Specialist certification of the responsible physician Found, status current; the registered specialty matches what this physician advertises.

| M4 | Facility registration Could not verify — by its own definition this register does not cover this class of facility or this territory, so the axis is left out of the coverage calculation for this record. Not a negative finding. Reason: Register does not cover this class of facility or this territory. Last attempt: none_found, 22 September 2026 — § A: the register of this class does not cover this unit by its own definition (scopeGap in the map); previous state null retry.

Score ceilings
No ceiling applies. We never apply one on 'not found' alone.
Holds

Inclusion policy
Four mechanical conditions. The first three decide whether a clinic is listed at all; the fourth decides whether it can be scored.

What we could not verify
- M4 · Facility registration — Register does not cover this class of facility or this territory
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 |
|---|---|
| 22 September 2026 | axes.M4: null → null (Methodology v1.3 (owner rulings 2026-09-22) — § A registry_scope_gap) |
| 20 September 2026 | axes.M4: null → null (Re-run against the CoBRHA Viewer; the registers covering this region were unreachable from this network (v1.2 loop pass 1).) |
| 17 September 2026 | axes.M8: null → 5 (Mechanical cross-locale comparison (methodology v1.1, item 9).) |
| 31 August 2026 | M4 3 -> null: measurement aligned with register map (CoBRHA absence is the legal norm for private clinics; Brussels outside CoBRHA scope). Kernel 1.8 fix. |
| 31 August 2026 | Initial collection. |
