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. CPSBC registrant directory: 'Brown, Aaron Douglas', practice type 'Specialty practice - plastic surgery', address matches this clinic exactly. [board] |
OFF | 26 | 2026-08-29 | |
| M2 | Identifiability of the responsible physician Physician(s) named with role and tied to this address. |
SEC | 16 | 2026-08-29 | |
| M3 | Basic medical licence Matched by name (surname stem and given name or initial; a second identifier where the name is ambiguous). CPSBC: MSP 63172, Licence status Practising, Licence class Full. [v1.3 2026-09-22: the number is not printed on the clinic's own pages (audit not_published) — matched by name] [board] |
OFF | 8 | 2026-09-22 | |
| M4 | Facility registration Could not verify — no points, counts against coverage, not a negative finding. Reason: Queried, no match. Last attempt: facility_registry, 20 September 2026 — 0 matching facility entries. The register covers non-hospital premises accredited for procedures under sedation or general anaesthesia, so a clinic whose procedures are done elsewhere would not appear. Queried against the British Columbia non-hospital surgical facility accreditation list; no entry for this clinic name, address or director. |
? | ? | 10 | 2026-09-20 |
| M5 | Legal-entity traceability The legal entity is named; the register of this class is not accessible or does not cover this legal form (sole practitioner, private practice). The site's own contact page names 'Dr. Aaron D. Brown Inc.' as the practising medical corporation; a federal corporate-name search for that entity returned 0 results (expected for a BC-incorporated medical corporation, outside federal scope). [site-contact] [corp] |
OFF | 8 | 2026-08-29 | |
| M6 | Self-disclosure of identifiers Logos without numbers. Board-certification status stated as text; no licence or registration numbers published. [site] |
SEC | 10 | 2026-08-29 | |
| 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. Multiple unattributed superlatives found on the clinic's home page describing the surgeon and practice. [site] As a leading plastic surgeon in Abbotsford, Dr. Aaron Brown has provided high-quality cosmetic plastic surgery to the Fraser Valley for years. |
SEC | 12 | 2026-08-29 | |
| 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 — one language front; no hreflang alternates or language links The clinic site publishes one language front; nothing to compare. |
? | ? | 5 | 2026-09-20 |
| M9 | Patient documents One. Aftercare instructions are published on a procedure page; no dedicated consent, risk, revision-policy or complaint-route document found on the surveyed pages. [site-breastaug] |

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

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.
