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 in the register with a current status; the register does not disclose the specialty, or discloses a different one (including “no specialisation”), and the clinic claims no protected title. The register's own line is shown on the profile. Named physician found in the practitioners register at this facility as General Practitioner; the register does not record a Dermatology specialty for her. [nhra-med] |
OFF | 26 | 2026-08-30 | |
| M2 | Identifiability of the responsible physician Physician(s) named with role and tied to this address. |
SEC | 16 | 2026-08-30 | |
| M3 | Basic medical licence Matched by name (surname stem and given name or initial; a second identifier where the name is ambiguous). Matched by licence number. [v1.3 2026-09-22: the number is not printed on the clinic's own pages (audit not_published) — matched by name] [nhra-med] |
OFF | 8 | 2026-09-22 | |
| M4 | Facility registration Record found: name, address and status match. Facility register entry name, address, active status and contact email domain match this location. [nhra-fac] |
OFF | 10 | 2026-08-30 | |
| M5 | Legal-entity traceability The legal entity is named; the register of this class is not accessible or does not cover this legal form (sole practitioner, private practice). The operator is named with its legal form and commercial registration number in the group’s terms-and-conditions page, and the home-page footer carries the same company name. The number could not be matched in the commercial register: Re-probed 2026-09-20 with both user agents. POST https://api.sijilat.bh/api/CRdetails/AdvanceSearchCR_Paging (no Authorization header) returns HTTP 401 {"Message":"Authorization has been denied for this request."} to a Chrome UA and to a short tool UA alike, and the public ASPX pages render no company rows server-side, so no CR record can be read. Secondary routes searched and none found (OpenCorporates 403 / token-gated, Dun & Bradstreet 403, Zawya 404, BCCI and bahrainbusinessdirectory unreachable). Scored on the v1.2 ladder from the clinic's own pages instead. read via browser [site-terms] [site-home] Al Hilal Hospital Company BSC (C) (CR 58690) |

| M6 | Self-disclosure of identifiers No identifiers at all. |
SEC | 10 | 2026-08-30 | |
| M7 | Advertising honesty One or two soft superlatives or non-absolute safety promises. One or two soft superlatives found (page title, doctor count wording); no guarantee language. [site-location-riffa] [site-home] Best Multi Specialty Hospital Bahrain, Riffa - Al Hilal Hospital Company |

| 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 Two or three. Consent language in the group's Patient and Family Bill of Rights and a published complaint-route page found; aftercare and revision-policy text not found. [site-bor] [site-doctors-riffa] |

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.
