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 Only a secondary source (association, aggregator) supports the certification. Physician found by hospital-name search in the national plastic-surgery specialist-society directory. The facility could not be matched in the facility register under this or related spellings, so the register-confirmed specialty headcount could not be obtained. [board] |
