| 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: no razón social, company form or RUT is published.

| M6 | Self-disclosure of identifiers No identifiers at all. No licence, facility or legal-entity numbers published on the reviewed pages. [site] |
SEC | 10 | 2026-08-31 | |
| M7 | Advertising honesty One or two soft superlatives or non-absolute safety promises. Lexicon scan of the clinic's own Spanish pages re-run. One soft superlative in the clinic's own text, in the physician biography that repeats across the site. The only other lexicon matches are inside a patient testimonial and in the website terms-of-use page, which are out of scope for this axis. [site] [site3] Cirujano Plástico líder en nuestra Clínica |

| 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 None. The published 'Políticas de Uso' page is a general website-use/legal disclaimer, not a consent, risk, aftercare, revision or complaint document; none of the five document classes found. [site] |

What we could not verify
- 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.
