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.

SEC | 16 | 2026-09-01 | |
| M3 | Basic medical licence Matched by name (surname stem and given name or initial; a second identifier where the name is ambiguous). Matched by licence number and confirmed Active on the official per-professional detail page.

OFF | 10 | 2026-09-01 | |
| M5 | Legal-entity traceability The legal entity is named; the register of this class is not accessible or does not cover this legal form (sole practitioner, private practice). The clinic names its legal entity, Cornerstone Polyclinic LLC, in the terms of service; no company registration number is published. The Dubai trade-licence register (Invest in Dubai / DET) is not machine-accessible: re-probed 2026-09-20 with a desktop-browser user agent (search page served with a passive hCaptcha, API answers CSRF/INVALID_TOKEN) and with a short tool user agent (Akamai "Access Denied"). OpenCorporates returns HTTP 403 to both agents and its API requires a licence key; the DMCC business directory is a client-rendered Angular shell.

SEC | 8 | 2026-09-20 | |
| M6 | Self-disclosure of identifiers Partial, without issuers. A Ministry of Health licence code is published sitewide in the footer, naming MOH as issuer. [site] MOH LICENSE NO: XFOESU2Y-030826 |
SEC | 10 | 2026-09-01 | |
| M7 | Advertising honesty No pattern from the lexicon found. No lexicon hits found on pages checked; copy uses measured language about safety and ethics standards. [site] |
SEC | 12 | 2026-09-01 | |
| M8 | Cross-locale consistency Could not verify — no points, counts against coverage, not a negative finding. Reason: Single language front. Last attempt: clinic_site, 17 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 |

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.
