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: sacper, 30 August 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 | 2026-09-18 |
| 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 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: sacper, 18 September 2026 — Secondary route run for the closed medical_licence class: Arce Carlos Fernando — Miembro Titular — Regional: Rosario y Litoral. REFEPS (SISA) was re-probed the same day: the scripted GWT-RPC search returns SessionTimeOutException and the REST service returns ERROR_AUTENTICACION, so the licence register answers no scripted client. SACPER publishes membership category, regional chapter and declared specialty, never a matrícula number. The clinic itself publishes no matrícula number for the physician responsible for the aesthetic service. |

| M4 | Facility registration Could not verify — no points, counts against coverage, not a negative finding. Reason: Queried, no match. Last attempt: facility_registry, 18 September 2026 — 0 matching rows Register queried, no record found. REFES bulk open-data export (2025-12-15 cut, 36,046 data rows) downloaded in full and filtered locally on normalised establecimiento_nombre and domicilio for "ARS Clinic", surname "Arce" and street address "Callao 409"; the whole Rosario cut was also listed (390 rows in localidad ROSARIO, provincia SANTA FE, of which the only names containing CIRUG/ESTETIC/PLASTIC are MICROCIRUGIA OCULAR S.A, CEDYCA and CLINICA DE CIRUGIA CARDIOVASCULAR MINI-INVASIVA DR. BENETTI). REFES registers formalised health establishments; private consulting rooms and small surgical centres in Santa Fe are frequently outside its scope, so this is not evidence of an unlicensed premises. |
? | ? | 10 | 2026-09-18 |
| 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. Brand only: the clinic names no legal entity — no company name with a legal form (S.A. / S.R.L. / S.A.S.) and no CUIT — on any page loaded on 2026-09-18: the home page, /nosotros/, /curriculum/, /contacto/ and /tratamientos/. The trading style "ARS Clinic" carries no legal form. [site] [site-nosotros] [site-curriculum] [site-contacto] [site-tratamientos] |
SEC | 8 | 2026-09-18 | |
| M6 | Self-disclosure of identifiers No identifiers at all. No licence, facility or registration numbers published on the site. [site] |
SEC | 10 | 2026-08-30 | |
| 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 superlatives across the home and profile pages ("un referente", "excelencia médica", "instalaciones de primer nivel", "Reconocido por su experiencia y liderazgo"); no outcome guarantee or "100%"-class statement found. Pages loaded on 2026-09-18: the home page, /nosotros/, /curriculum/, /contacto/ and /tratamientos/.

SEC | 12 | 2026-09-18 | |
| M8 | Cross-locale consistency Could not verify — no points, counts against coverage, not a negative finding. Reason: Single language front. Last attempt: clinic_site, 18 September 2026 — one language front; no hreflang alternates or language links The clinic site publishes one language front; nothing to compare. |
? | ? | 5 | 2026-09-18 |
| M9 | Patient documents None. No informed-consent, risk, aftercare, revision-policy or complaint-route documentation found on the site. [site] |

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 |
|---|---|---|
| Dr. Carlos Arce [site] [sacper] | Cirujano plástico, médico responsable | not published |
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 SECSACPER buscador: Miembro Titular, Especialista en Cirugía Estética y Reparadora. SACPER is a professional association, not a state register; the state specialist register (REFEPS) is form-gated and could not be queried.[sacper]
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
- M4 · Facility registration — Queried, no match
- 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.
