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 Found, status current; the registered specialty matches what this physician advertises. The named doctor appears in the Specialist Accreditation Register under dermato-venereology: 1831 Dr. Farrugia Angela, whose Principal List entry carries the same Paris dermatology and venereology diploma the clinic publishes for her; the accreditation covers the injectable and dermatologic services advertised. The register spells the given name Angela and the site spells it Angele. [board] [doctor] |
OFF | 26 | 2026-09-20 | |
| M2 | Identifiability of the responsible physician Physician(s) named with role and tied to this address. |
SEC | 16 | 2026-09-20 | |
| M3 | Basic medical licence Matched by name (surname stem and given name or initial; a second identifier where the name is ambiguous). |
OFF | 8 | 2026-09-20 | |
| M4 | Facility registration Could not verify — no points, counts against coverage, not a negative finding. Reason: Queried, no match. Last attempt: facility_registry, 20 September 2026 — 0 rows across all 748 register rows for the terms Medika, Tas-Sliema street, San Gwann; the server-side search leg returned total_results 0 on Clinic_Medical and on Private_Hospitals. Every table of the Licenced Establishments register was downloaded in full and searched on the establishment name, the street and the locality in both the Maltese and the English spelling; no row for this clinic or this address was returned. The register carries no aesthetic-medicine category, and no conclusion about the facility is drawn from the absence. |

| 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. |
SEC | 8 | 2026-09-20 | |
| M6 | Self-disclosure of identifiers No identifiers at all. |
SEC | 10 | 2026-09-20 | |
| 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. Superlatives run through the home, about, doctor and services pages; no outcome or safety guarantee was found. Pages scanned: home, about Medika, the doctor page and services.

SEC | 12 | 2026-09-20 | |
| M8 | Cross-locale consistency Could not verify — no points, counts against coverage, not a negative finding. Reason: Single language front. Last attempt: clinic_site, 20 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 One. Pages loaded: home, about Medika, the doctor page and services. The home page states that aftercare follows skin-lesion procedures; no consent document, risks or contraindications section, revision policy or complaint route was found. [site] |

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.
