| Axis | Finding (rubric anchor) | Value | Source class | Weight | Checked |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| M1 | Specialist certification of the responsible physician Found, status current; the registered specialty is adjacent to what is advertised — a closed list: plastic and reconstructive surgery, dermatology, maxillofacial surgery, facial ENT, oculoplastic ophthalmology, general surgery, aesthetic or cosmetic medicine where it is a recognised specialty. Ministry of Health private-specialist directory: MAHERZI ATEF, CHIRURGIE PLASTIQUE, practising in a multidisciplinary clinic, adr1 "SOCIETE CIVILE ET PROFESSIONNELLE TAOUFIK", Tunis — the Clinique Taoufik partnership the surgeon’s own site names as his operating clinic. A second MAHERZI row (maxillo-facial surgery, another given name) is a different physician. [v1.3 2026-09-22: extract older than 24 months → 4] [moh] |

| M2 | Identifiability of the responsible physician Physician(s) named with role and tied to this address. |
SEC | 16 | 2026-09-18 | |
| 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: isaps, 18 September 2026 — Dr Atef Maherzi is listed among the 10 Tunisian ISAPS members rendered on those pages (Abid, Ben Jemaa, Bouzguenda, Gharbi, Gherissi, Mahdhi, Maherzi, Mahjoub, Slama, Tritar), with clinic, city, phone and website; ISAPS membership is a society signal and publishes no registration number, so it is carried on the record as a fact and not as a licence value. The CNOM tableau itself refuses connections from every egress tried (closedAttempt in the registry map). |

| 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 site names no legal entity and publishes no company or tax number — the footer carries « Copyright © 2020 Dr Atef Maherzi ».

Secondary findings (not scored)
What a professional society, an international directory, a hospital page or another jurisdiction’s register says, shown for information where the country’s own register is closed. These facts enter neither the score nor the coverage.

What we could not verify
- M3 · Basic medical licence — Register closed to machine queries
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.
