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.

SEC | 16 | 2026-08-31 | |
| 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 HealthPro (visaDate 1999-01-09, nihdi 18601135). [healthpro] |
OFF | 8 | 2026-08-31 | |
| 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. Rue du Magistrat 7, 1050 Bruxelles (Ixelles). Legs run: CBENumber=0479343118; Name=MA Clinic → recordsTotal 0 in the Flemish register. Federal cells untouched (M1 = 5, M3 = 4 — Abboud Marwan, nihdi 18601135 — and M5 = 4). |
? | ? | 10 | 2026-09-20 |
| 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 name in KBO/BCE ("ma clinic", enterprise 0479.343.118); the register's registered-seat address (Wethoudersstraat 5, 1050 Elsene) differs from the consultation address published on the clinic site, which is a normal registered-office/practice-address split, not a conflict. [kbo] |
OFF | 8 | 2026-08-31 | |
| M6 | Self-disclosure of identifiers Logos without numbers. Professional-society memberships named (RBSPS, GBS, ISAPS and others) without membership or licence numbers. [site] |
SEC | 10 | 2026-08-31 | |
| M7 | Advertising honesty One or two soft superlatives or non-absolute safety promises. One soft superlative on the clinic's own English page ("medical perfection"). [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, 17 September 2026 — language links found (fr:200) but no distinct second front The clinic site publishes one language front; nothing to compare. |

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.

Scope and procedure segments
Clinic focus: specialist (no focus adjustment) [site]
What we could not verify
- M4 · Facility registration — Register does not cover this class of facility or this territory
- 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.

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).) |
| 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. |
