Google Maps listing (reference, not scored)
What the clinic's public Google Maps listing showed when we read it: the rating other people gave, the number of their reviews and the hours the clinic itself publishes there. This block is a reference only — it does not enter the score, the rank, the ceilings or the holds, and we have not checked it beyond matching the listing to this record.

| Axis | Finding (rubric anchor) | Value | Source class | Weight | Checked |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| M1 | Specialist certification of the responsible physician The register contradicts the claim: the physician's record is found and the status is not current (suspended, revoked, expired, retired, struck off), or the clinic claims a protected specialist title or a board certification that the register does not show for this person. A record that is simply not found is “queried, no match”, never this value; a miss in a register that indexes only current entries supports no finding. Authorised to practise as a specialist for 2026 (General Notice No. 179 of 2026, entry #750, RAMDAWON Pretidev). The Medical Council of Mauritius's own searchable specialist register lists this physician's registered discipline as Cardiovascular Surgery. The clinic's own site describes his practice as Plastic, Reconstructive, and Aesthetic Laser Surgery. [mcm-specialty] [site] Dr. RAMDAWON Pretidev CARDIOVASCULAR SURGERY |

Last attempt: legal_entity, 18 September 2026 — 0 rows for VIP LASER / VIP LASER CLINIC / RAMDAWON; the clinic's own site names 'VIP Laser Clinic Co. Ltd.' in its footer copyright line but the entity is not returned by this VAT snapshot (VAT registration is not universal — see registry-map caveats). |

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 in the clinic's own text across the hero, physician-bio and closing sections ('premier medical clinic', 'leading specialist', 'global pioneer', 'we will only deliver the best'), no issuer named for any of them; no outcome/safety guarantee found. Superlative language inside the patient-testimonial section is excluded from this scan. Pages loaded: home. [site] We are a premier medical clinic specializing in advanced aesthetic services. |

What we could not verify
- M5 · Legal-entity traceability — Queried, no match
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.
