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. Found in the Order of Physicians (Beirut) Physician Index by surname: row وليم نبيل وطفه, code و/124, Speciality "General Medicine; Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery;", Hospitals "Saint George Orthodox;" — the hospital matches the appointment the site publishes and the specialty matches the advertised service.

OFF | 26 | 2026-09-20 | |
| M2 | Identifiability of the responsible physician Physician(s) named with role and tied to this address. The site names the surgeon with his role and hospital appointment and ties him to the Sama Beirut tower address. [site] |
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). Matched by name in the Order of Physicians (Beirut) register, which is the statutory register of licensed physicians; registration code و/124. The clinic publishes no licence number to cross-check by number. [register] |
OFF | 8 | 2026-09-20 | |
| M4 | Facility registration Could not verify — by its own definition this register does not cover this class of facility or this territory, so the axis is left out of the coverage calculation for this record. Not a negative finding. Reason: Register does not cover this class of facility or this territory. Last attempt: none_found, 22 September 2026 — § A: the register of this class does not cover this unit by its own definition (scopeGap quoted in the map: All Facilities Private Hospitals Radiology Lab PHC Centers Dental Lab Physiotherapy Center…); previous state null not_found — 0 rows for "Watfa" and "Sama" across all facility types and all cazas; control query name=Clemenceau on the same endpoint returned the Clemenceau Medical Center row, so the filter works; the MOPH regi |

| 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’s own site names no legal entity and no company registration number. The Lebanese Commercial Register was re-probed on 2026-09-20 and its result page is still non-operational.

SEC | 8 | 2026-09-20 | |
| M6 | Self-disclosure of identifiers No identifiers at all. No licence, registration or company numbers with issuers are published on the clinic’s own pages. [site] |
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. Lexicon scan on 2026-09-20 of https://drwilliamwatfa.com/, /about, /breast, /contact and /visit-us. Superlatives about the surgeon recur across the home and about pages with no issuer named; no outcome or safety guarantee found. [site] Expertise, Precision, and a Passion for Aesthetic Excellence |
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. |

| M9 | Patient documents One. Pages loaded on 2026-09-20: https://drwilliamwatfa.com/, /about, /breast, /contact, /visit-us. One of the five document classes is published (post-operative follow-up for travelling patients); no consent form, risks page, revision policy or complaint route. [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.

Scope and procedure segments
Clinic focus: specialist (no focus adjustment) [site]
What we could not verify
- M4 · Facility registration — Register does not cover this class of facility or this territory
- 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.
