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. Bahamas Medical Council Specialists Register: registration S759, name 'WARREN-HEPBURN, Juliette', specialty Dermatology. The clinic's own site names the physician 'Dr. Juliette Hepburn' — surname matches the second element of the register's double-barrelled entry, first name and specialty match exactly. [bmc-spec] |
OFF | 26 | 2026-09-01 | |
| M2 | Identifiability of the responsible physician Physician(s) named with role and tied to this address. |
SEC | 16 | 2026-09-01 | |
| M3 | Basic medical licence Matched by name (surname stem and given name or initial; a second identifier where the name is ambiguous). Registered under s.26(4) and licensed under s.29(1) of the Medical Act 2014, matched by registration number S759. [v1.3 2026-09-22: the number is not printed on the clinic's own pages (audit short_number) — matched by name] [bmc-spec] |
OFF | 8 | 2026-09-22 | |
| M4 | Facility registration Found with a spelling discrepancy; or the location is registered under the name of the host facility at the same address (a practice inside a hospital or a centre); or the value comes from a mirror or from a directory that shows no status — the profile names the record holder verbatim. Hospitals & Health Care Facilities Licensing Board 2026 register lists 'The Skin Center — Dr. JuliePe Hepburn, Harbour Bay Shopping Center, New Providence, SC-26-088' (ligature 'JuliePe' = Juliette) — facility name spelling and doctor surname differ slightly from the clinic's own site.

OFF | 10 | 2026-09-01 | |
| 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. Department of Inland Revenue VAT Registrants List: TIN 100-120-134, 'The Skin Centre Limited Trading as The Skin Centre' — matches the clinic's own name exactly. [v1.3 2026-09-22: the clinic publishes neither the number nor the legal entity (audit not_published, entity name not found on the clinic pages; the entity was found by us — shown as a fact)] [dir-vat] |
OFF | 8 | 2026-09-22 | |
| M6 | Self-disclosure of identifiers Logos without numbers. Training institutions are named (University of Southampton Medical School, St John's Institute of Dermatology); no certificate or registration number is published. [site] |
SEC | 10 | 2026-09-01 | |
| M7 | Advertising honesty No pattern from the lexicon found. |
SEC | 12 | 2026-09-01 | |
| 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 | 2026-09-01 |
| M9 | Patient documents None. No consent, risk, aftercare, revision-policy or complaint-route page found. [site] |

Score ceilings

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.

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.
- M5 · Legal-entity traceability SECCompany register entry found for The Skin Centre Limited Trading as The Skin Centre (100-120-134); the clinic's own surface names neither the entity nor the number.[dir-vat]
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.
