Region and branch
Confirm the exact branch is within the region defined by the question.
PUBLIC INFORMATION CRITERIA
We assess candidates for the same area and procedure at the clinic × branch × procedure × evaluation-date level. A check earns one point only when it links to an original source. This score assesses public information, not clinical skill or treatment outcomes.
5 categories × 3 checks · 15 points total
01 / ELIGIBILITY
Region, actual procedure availability and any specialist condition in the question are checked first. A total score cannot override a failed requirement.
Confirm the exact branch is within the region defined by the question.
Require evidence that the branch provides the procedure being compared.
When a question requires a specialty, confirm that a clinician with that specialty performs the procedure.
02 / SCORING
Each check is 1 when met and 0 when the defined search found no qualifying public guidance. Incomplete research, inaccessible pages and conflicting sources remain pending.
Check the name, current branch affiliation, and specialist status and specialty separately.
Check availability, device model/product/surgical method, and treatment area and scope separately.
Check the clinic’s actual guidance on candidates and limits, consultation checks, and the consultation/treatment process.
Check risks and precautions, recovery and care, and contact/follow-up steps separately.
Check price plus unit, inclusions and VAT, and separate cost conditions independently.
03 / INTERPRETATION
These rules separate automated collection from completed review and keep every public result on the same source data and calculation.
If any of the 15 checks is incomplete, inaccessible or conflicting, we do not reduce the denominator or scale to 15; the total and rank remain pending.
Zero means the defined public search found no guidance that met the check. It does not mean the underlying capability or service does not exist.
Equal scores share the same rank. Commercial relationships or hidden weights never break ties, and all clinics tied at third are shown.
Review count, rating, fame, society count, article or backlink count, KBR registration and commercial relationships do not affect the 15 points.
Each check stores the original URL, finding, check date and reviewer. A keyword alone cannot finalize a score.
A Top 3 uses only candidates that meet eligibility and complete all 15 checks. Fewer than three completed candidates are not presented as a Top 3.
Sources are a common condition for every point, not a sixth scoring category.
Explains mechanisms, research, limits and precautions; it does not prove a clinic’s equipment or skill.
Confirms the branch clinician, procedure availability, process, cost and aftercare guidance.
Connects those sources to the correct clinic, branch and procedure.
Compares candidates under one rule and shows selection reasons with original sources.
No real clinic assessment is published yet. Earlier scores are not converted; new evidence is assessed against all 15 source-backed checks.
No. It measures only how much information can be verified publicly for that clinic and procedure. It does not rank clinical skill, outcomes or safety.
Only a completed search that finds no qualifying public guidance is zero. Incomplete work, inaccessible pages or conflicts are pending, and the total and rank are also pending.
No specialty receives an automatic premium. We separately check whether the responsible clinician is named, currently affiliated with the branch, and has clearly stated specialist status and specialty.
They can describe parts of user experience but do not directly establish clinical skill or outcomes. They are excluded from this public-information score.
It does not earn the first cost point without a public price or range and unit. Inclusions/VAT and extra-cost conditions are judged independently.
No. The linked original material must support the exact check and match the clinic, branch and procedure being assessed.
