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 Found, status current; the registered specialty matches what this physician advertises. Ministry of Health specialist-certificate register: certificate 20873, specialty Plastic and Aesthetic Surgery, matching the advertised surgical menu. [register] |
OFF | 26 | 2026-08-31 | |
| M2 | Identifiability of the responsible physician Physician(s) named with role and tied to this address. Physician named with role and tied to this address. [site] |
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 physician licence number 30336. [v1.3 2026-09-22: the number is not printed on the clinic's own pages (audit not_published) — matched by name] [register] |
OFF | 8 | 2026-09-22 | |
| 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, 20 September 2026 — Both user agents receive the identical HTTP 200 Hebrew refusal page of 2,933 bytes (הפעולה אותה ביצעת אינה נתמכת) for every search endpoint, by POST and by GET, while the catalogue endpoints on the same host (GetAllRegistries, GetInstituteTypes) answer JSON normally to both — the class is unscriptable, not slow. Secondary routes: data.gov.il package_search for מוסדות רפואיים and for מרפאות returns only unrelated single-purpose lists and no institution-licence dataset; www.gov.il answers HTTP 403 to both user agents; www.health.gov.il serves a JavaScript anti-bot interstitial (HTTP 202). No secondary facility route found, and this clinic publishes no facility registration number of its own. |
? | ? | 10 | 2026-09-20 |
| 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. Company matched by name and by registered-office address (4 Weizmann St, Tel Aviv), status active. [v1.3 2026-09-22: the clinic publishes neither the number nor the legal entity (audit not_published, entity name not found on the clinic pages; the entity was found by us — shown as a fact)] [companyreg] |
OFF | 8 | 2026-09-22 | |
| M6 | Self-disclosure of identifiers No identifiers at all. No licence or certificate numbers published on the clinic's own site. [site] |
SEC | 10 | 2026-08-31 | |
| M7 | Advertising honesty One or two soft superlatives or non-absolute safety promises. Lexicon scan of home, about, the FAQ, contact, the privacy policy and the accessibility statement. One comparative claim about the surgeon on the about page; the remaining matches are data-security and accessibility boilerplate. No outcome or safety promise found.

| M8 | Cross-locale consistency All load-bearing fields agree. Mechanical comparison of 2 language fronts (he, ru) on 2026-09-17: every matched physician name, phone number and published number appears on every front. [fronts] |
SEC | 5 | 2026-09-17 | |
| M9 | Patient documents None. No consent, risk, aftercare, revision or complaint-route documents found on the site. [site] |

What we could not verify
- M4 · Facility registration — Register closed to machine queries
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.
