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 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: cpn, 17 September 2026 — secondary source names the physician (former M1 = 2); shown on the profile as a fact — M1 is not scored while the country's specialist register is closed |
? | ? | 26 | 2026-09-17 |
| M2 | Identifiability of the responsible physician Physician(s) named with role and tied to this address. Physician named with role, described as a pioneer in laser surgery, tied to this address on the clinic's own site. [site] |
SEC | 16 | 2026-09-02 | |
| M3 | Basic medical licence 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: cpn, 17 September 2026 — The CPN member page publishes "Codigo Minsa 7682", but that is the association’s own statement and not a register read; the MINSA Registro de Profesionales de la Salud that would confirm it is reCAPTCHA-gated (server-side token verification) and the grid does not script around anti-bot gates. The MINSA professionals register (KARPLUS) remains reCAPTCHA-gated; the only number available is the Codigo MINSA published by the CPN association directory, which is not a register read. |

OFF | 10 | 2026-09-02 | |
| M5 | Legal-entity traceability Not applicable: this country has no Company register. Nicaragua has no reachable public legal-entity register; axis not applicable. |

SEC | 10 | 2026-09-02 | |
| 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. Systematic soft superlatives on the clinic's own site: "único en Nicaragua", "Pioneros en la región", "la tecnología más moderna que se puede encontrar en el país". [site] |
SEC | 12 | 2026-09-02 | |
| M8 | Cross-locale consistency Could not verify — no points, counts against coverage, not a negative finding. Reason: Single language front. Last attempt: clinic_site, 20 September 2026 — one language front; no hreflang alternates or language links 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.
| Physician | Role | Register ID |
|---|---|---|
| Dra. Ligia Espinosa Ortega [site] [cpn] | Plastic and aesthetic surgeon | Código MINSA 7682 (published by the CPN association directory, not register-verified) |
Legal entity: could not verify
Scope and procedure segments
Clinic focus: specialist (no focus adjustment) [site]
Secondary findings (not scored)
What a professional society, an international directory, a hospital page or another jurisdiction’s register says, shown for information where the country’s own register is closed. These facts enter neither the score nor the coverage.
- M1 · Specialist certification of the responsible physician SECNamed in the member directory of the Asociacion Nicaraguense de Cirugia Plastica, Estetica y Reconstructiva and in FILACP’s copy of the same roster; association listing only - the MINSA specialist register is reCAPTCHA-gated.[cpn] [filacp]
What we could not verify
- M1 · Specialist certification of the responsible physician — Register closed to machine queries
- M3 · Basic medical licence — Register closed to machine queries
- 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.
