OFF | 26 | 2026-09-19 | |
| 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 on the clinic’s own pages. [site-castelar] |
SEC | 16 | 2026-09-19 | |
| M3 | Basic medical licence Could not verify — no points, counts against coverage, not a negative finding. Reason: Queried, no match. Last attempt: medical_licence, 19 September 2026 — nombre=MARIA ELENA apellidos=CASTELAR returns 1 unrelated row (MARIA ELENA HUEZO DE CASTELAR, N Junta 1696); apellidos=CASTELAR returns 6 rows, none of them this physician; apellidos=CASTELAR DE RAMOS returns 0 rows. No matching record returned by the CSSP/JVPM professional register; the register’s incomplete coverage is documented in the registry map, so a miss is not evidence about the physician’s licence. |

| M4 | Facility registration Could not verify — no points, counts against coverage, not a negative finding. Reason: Queried, no match. Last attempt: facility_registry, 19 September 2026 — 0 rows for both filters. The Centro Medico Escalon premises named on the site is a third-party clinic centre and was not claimed for this record. No facility record found under the clinic or physician name in the CSSP Establecimientos register; a miss is not evidence about the premises. |
? | ? | 10 | 2026-09-19 |
| 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 clinic’s own pages name no legal entity (brand only); the company register is separately closed to machine queries. [site-castelar] |
SEC | 8 | 2026-09-19 | |
| M6 | Self-disclosure of identifiers Logos without numbers. Universities, a professional college and three dermatology societies are named as issuers on /dra-castelar; no licence, facility or company number is published. [site-castelar] |
SEC | 10 | 2026-09-19 | |
| M7 | Advertising honesty No pattern from the lexicon found. No guarantee or superlative pattern found in the clinic’s own text on the pages loaded (home, /dra-castelar, /nuestra-clinica). [site-castelar] |
SEC | 12 | 2026-09-19 | |
| M8 | Cross-locale consistency Could not verify — no points, counts against coverage, not a negative finding. Reason: Single language front. Last attempt: clinic_site, 19 September 2026 — one language front; no hreflang alternates or language links The clinic site publishes one language front; nothing to compare. |
? | ? | 5 | 2026-09-19 |
| M9 | Patient documents None. No consent form, risk list, aftercare guidance, revision policy or complaint route found. Pages loaded: home, /dra-castelar, /nuestra-clinica. [site-castelar] |

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.
