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. Axis carrier: Dr. med. Uldis Krustiņš, whom the site designates head of the centre ("Latvijas Mikroķirurģijas centra vadītājs"; "Sertificēts traumatologs-ortopēds, mikroķirurgs, rokas ķirurgs"). The register shows him active in traumatology-orthopaedics and hand surgery — neither is plastic surgery nor on the closed adjacency list; the site claims no plastic-surgery title for him and the titles it does claim are the ones the register shows → 3 (another specialty, no protected title contradicted). The register line goes on the card.

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: pka, 17 September 2026 — Re-ran the documented recipe on 2026-09-17: GET https://registri.vi.gov.lv/rap (200, 9,750 bytes, Turnstile widget present), then POST to the same URL with surname=<physician surname>&persid=&click= carrying the session cookie — HTTP 200, body exactly 9,750 bytes, byte-identical to the blank GET, 0 <table> elements, no error text. Register not read. Secondary route pka lists Mārtiņš Kapickis, Kalvis Pastars and Jānis Zariņš as active members, without any registration identifier; the clinic publishes no number (home and contacts re-loaded 2026-09-17). The medical-licence register is Turnstile-gated and was not read; the secondary routes carry no registration identifier and the clinic publishes none. |

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.
