Changelog
Every data change, correction and methodology version is logged here and in each record's own history.
| Date | Subject | Change |
|---|---|---|
| 16 October 2026 | Methodology v1.7.0 | Owner ruling: the publication threshold of a site is four scored clinics; ten remains the target of the collection gate and fifteen the roster target. A site with four to nine scored clinics is published open to search — ordinary home page, full sitemap — and stays in the re-collection loop until it reaches ten; the holding page with noindex and an empty sitemap is shown only below four. A clinic without a published score is still shown nowhere. Weights, rubrics, the 75% coverage threshold, ceilings and holds are unchanged. |
| 30 September 2026 | MySkin & Laser Clinic | Initial collection (holding pass 2026-09-30, roster source f). |
| 30 September 2026 | Premier Aesthetic Clinic | gate.namedDoctor: false → true (The clinic's team page (not read in earlier passes) names a surgeon with surname and given name.) |
| 30 September 2026 | Premier Aesthetic Clinic | axes.M1: "no_subject" → 3 (Run against the MDC 2026 register for the named surgeon: found in the General part, no specialty recorded, no protected title claimed.) |
| 30 September 2026 | Premier Aesthetic Clinic | axes.M2: 1 → 4 (Surgeon named with role on the clinic's team page.) |
| 30 September 2026 | Premier Aesthetic Clinic | axes.M3: "no_subject" → 4 (Run against the MDC 2026 General register: matched by name with a second identifier.) |
| 30 September 2026 | Premier Aesthetic Clinic | address: "3 Fetreke Street, Rye Ridge Plaza #358, Roman Ridge, Accra" → "3 Nii Noi Fetreke Street, Roman Ridge, Accra" (The earlier address merged the Accra and New York addresses; the contact page lists them separately.) |
| 25 September 2026 | Methodology v1.4.0 | Owner ruling: the 14-day reply window before publication is removed. A negative finding — one official register record about this unit or this person, from the register that governs the claim, with a status in force — is published as soon as it is assembled, with the register's line verbatim, the link and the date of reading; a negative finding is published exactly as fast as a positive one. The same day the register sends the clinic a letter from this site's corrections address; the clinic's reply, when it comes, is shown next to the fact, and the score moves only on a source. An unsent letter never holds or removes a finding. One official record per finding, the governing register, status in force only, the name-match rule and 'an absence is never published' are unchanged; so are the weights, the 75% coverage threshold, ceilings, holds and the ten-clinic floor. |
| 25 September 2026 | Methodology v1.5.0 | Owner ruling: the register never writes to a clinic on its own initiative — no letters about findings and no letters asking for missing data. Right of reply is passive, as in v1.0: a finding is on the profile in the register's own words, with the link and the date it was read; a clinic that disagrees uses this site's corrections form or corrections address; its reply is shown next to the fact, and the score moves only on a source. Everything else in v1.4 is unchanged. |
| 24 September 2026 | Alpha Aesthetika | surface: null → "own_site" (Methodology v1.3 surface class: the record is read from the clinic's own site) |
| 24 September 2026 | Alpha Aesthetika | axes.M1: "not_found" → 3 (Methodology v1.3 M1 ladder: physician found in the national register with no specialty recorded, no protected title claimed (re-run of the MDC 2026 gazette)) |

| 24 September 2026 | Luxe Clinic | axes.M1: "not_found" → 3 (Re-run against the whole MDC 2026 gazette incl. the Provisional Register (v1.3 pass): physician found, no specialty recorded, no protected title claimed) |
| 24 September 2026 | Luxe Clinic | axes.M3: "not_found" → 4 (Re-run against the whole MDC 2026 gazette incl. the Provisional Register (v1.3 pass): matched by surname and given name) |
| 24 September 2026 | Premier Aesthetic Clinic | surface: null → "own_site" (Methodology v1.3 surface class: the record is read from the clinic's own site) |
| 24 September 2026 | Premier Aesthetic Clinic | axes.M1: "not_found" → "no_subject" (Methodology v1.3 no_subject: the clinic names no physician, so there is no one to query) |
| 24 September 2026 | Premier Aesthetic Clinic | axes.M3: "not_found" → "no_subject" (Methodology v1.3 no_subject: the clinic names no physician, so there is no one to query) |
| 24 September 2026 | TCS Safrik (Total Cosmetic Surgery Solution Africa) | surface: null → "own_site" (Methodology v1.3 surface class: the record is read from the clinic's own site) |
| 24 September 2026 | The Bank Hospital | surface: null → "own_site" (Methodology v1.3 surface class: the record is read from the clinic's own site) |
| 24 September 2026 | The Bank Hospital | axes.M1: "not_found" → 3 (Methodology v1.3 subject rule: the axis follows the physician named for the advertised in-scope service (Plastic Surgery clinic); found in the MDC General register, no specialty recorded) |
| 24 September 2026 | The Bank Hospital | axes.M3: 4 → 4 (Methodology v1.3 subject rule: matched the plastic surgeon by name in the MDC General register) |
| 24 September 2026 | The Bank Hospital | axes.M2: 5 → 5 (Methodology v1.3 subject rule: identifiability read for the plastic surgeon named on the hospital's doctor page) |
| 22 September 2026 | Estar Pharma & Medical Aesthetics Center | axes.M1.divergent: false → true (Methodology v1.3 (owner rulings 2026-09-22) — § E rule 4 — the register line diverges from the clinic's claim; reply window before publication) |
| 22 September 2026 | Methodology v1.3.0 | Two new reasons for an empty cell: 'register does not cover this class of facility or this territory' (proved by a quote of the register's own statement of coverage; leaves the coverage denominator like a closed register) and 'nothing to query' (the clinic publishes no surname or no legal entity; stays in the denominator). Registers are read per jurisdiction — province, Land, emirate or region — where that is what licenses; openness, closedness and coverage are properties of the register class in that jurisdiction, and a closed jurisdiction never closes the whole country. The country map names sources, access and jurisdictions only; it never changes an anchor. The anchors of M1, M3, M4 and M5 are restated: 5 on M3 and M5 requires the number the clinic itself publishes; a found record whose specialty the register does not confirm is 3, not 1, unless the clinic claims a protected title the register does not show; adjacency is a closed list; a practice registered under its host facility scores 4 on M4. The advertising lexicon (M7) is closed: 2 needs an unconditional absolute about the patient's future safety or the treatment outcome, rendered in the clinic's own voice; purpose clauses, revision programmes, manufacturer warranties and equipment statements are not patterns; absolutes about the past and satisfaction figures are 3. M9 counts a document class only when it is reachable from a stable address and named by a heading or a labelled control. A record is published only if at least one register axis holds a value. Every cell records how it was read (script, second egress, browser) and is re-verified in the same mode; a page that fails to load never degrades a cell. A negative finding needs one official register record about this unit or this person, from the register that governs the claim, with a status in force; the clinic receives a letter and a 14-day reply window before the finding is published; an absence (“no sanctions”, “not found”) is never rendered. Personal identifiers are never stored. Weights, the 75% coverage threshold, ceilings, holds and the ten-clinic floor are unchanged. |
| 19 September 2026 | Luxe Clinic | Initial collection (v1.2 pass 2). |
| 19 September 2026 | Premier Aesthetic Clinic | axes.M5.note: null → null (Reworded the axis note so the registered company string sits in the source entry instead of our own text (wording lint, v1.2 pass 2); the value and the evidence are unchanged.) |
| 18 September 2026 | Alpha Aesthetika | axes.M1: null → null (Re-run against specialist_board (v1.1 pass 1); completed query, no match — not_found.) |
| 18 September 2026 | Alpha Aesthetika | axes.M4: null → null (Re-run against facility_registry (v1.1 pass 1); completed query, no match — not_found.) |
| 18 September 2026 | Estar Pharma & Medical Aesthetics Center | axes.M3: null → 4 (Re-run against open register (v1.1 pass 1); resolved from retry.) |
| 18 September 2026 | Methodology v1.2.0 | Coverage is measured against what the country lets us check: a register class that does not exist here or is closed to machine queries (with the refusal on record) leaves the coverage denominator; a completed query with no match, an attempt that did not complete and a single language front stay in it. A register miss is never a value: the three anchors that used to encode a miss (M1 = 1, M4 = 3, M5 = 1) now mean a found record that contradicts the claim, or, for M4 = 3, a register that is not machine-accessible while the clinic publishes its facility number. Where the specialist register is closed, M1 is not scored on that site at all; what a society, ISAPS or a hospital page says is shown on the profile as a secondary fact outside the score. Commercial mirrors of an official register can support M3–M5 up to 4 with secondary provenance. M8 may be empty only for a single language front or while the clinic site fails to load. The citation verifier applies exactly three normalisations (HTML entities, Unicode NFC, whitespace). Weights, rubrics otherwise, the 75% coverage threshold, ceilings, holds and the ten-clinic floor are unchanged. |
| 18 September 2026 | Premier Aesthetic Clinic | axes.M1: null → null (Re-run against specialist_board (v1.1 pass 1); completed query, no match — not_found.) |
| 18 September 2026 | Premier Aesthetic Clinic | axes.M3: null → null (Re-run against medical_licence (v1.1 pass 1); completed query, no match — not_found.) |
| 18 September 2026 | Premier Aesthetic Clinic | axes.M4: null → null (Re-run against facility_registry (v1.1 pass 1); completed query, no match — not_found.) |
| 18 September 2026 | TCS Safrik (Total Cosmetic Surgery Solution Africa) | axes.M3: null → 4 (Re-run against open register (v1.1 pass 1); resolved from retry.) |
| 18 September 2026 | TCS Safrik (Total Cosmetic Surgery Solution Africa) | axes.M4: null → null (Re-run against facility_registry (v1.1 pass 1); completed query, no match — not_found.) |
| 18 September 2026 | TCS Safrik (Total Cosmetic Surgery Solution Africa) | axes.M5: null → 2 (Re-run against open register (v1.1 pass 1); resolved from retry.) |
| 18 September 2026 | The Bank Hospital | axes.M1: null → null (Re-run against specialist_board (v1.1 pass 1); completed query, no match — not_found.) |
| 17 September 2026 | Methodology v1.1.0 | Completeness of collection became a build gate. Every cell we could not verify now carries a typed reason (register absent in this country, register not machine-accessible, queried and not found, attempt not completed, single language front) and, where a query was run, the attempt log; a closed register is tried through secondary routes before a cell is left empty; cross-locale consistency (M8) is computed mechanically. Only clinics with a published score are shown; a site publishes only with at least ten scored clinics (target fifteen) and otherwise shows a holding page while collection continues. Home title, heading and description name the country and are built from the site’s own data. Weights, rubrics, the coverage threshold, ceilings and holds are unchanged. |
