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, 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: SAMI MEZHOUD, CHIRURGIE PLASTIQUE, adr1 "RUE DU LAC - MAZUKIE", TUNIS 1053; specialty matches, but the practice name disclosed on the physician’s own site ("Clinique Medespoir") was not independently confirmed identical to the register’s street-level address.

OFF | 26 | 2026-08-31 | |
| M2 | Identifiability of the responsible physician Physician(s) named with role and tied to this address. Physician named with role and consultation address on his own site. [site] |
SEC | 16 | 2026-08-31 | |
| M3 | Basic medical licence The register of this class is not machine-accessible or does not cover this class of practitioner; the clinic itself publishes the number. The CNOM tableau is not machine-accessible (the register host refuses connections from every egress tried, see the registry map); the physician publishes his Ordre des médecins registration number on his own legal-notice page, which is rubric level 3 — the number itself could not be checked against the register.

— | — | — | 2026-09-24 |
| 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 legal notice names the domain and the practitioner and states that he operates « au sein de plusieurs cliniques partenaires »; no legal entity and no company or tax number is published.

SEC | 8 | 2026-09-18 | |
| M6 | Self-disclosure of identifiers Physician numbers published; facility or legal-entity numbers not. The physician’s own registration number is published with its issuer (Conseil de l’ordre des médecins, no 6884) together with the verification route; no facility or legal-entity number is published.

SEC | 10 | 2026-09-18 | |
| M7 | Advertising honesty Systematic superlatives; systematic safety promises without an absolute; absolutes about the past (success rates, “no infection since …”, satisfaction figures, “we guarantee your satisfaction”); comparisons with surgery. Superlatives about the practitioner recur across the pages loaded (« l’un des meilleurs spécialistes », « la très prestigieuse ISAPS », « la communauté des meilleurs chirurgiens plasticiens »), with no issuer named and no outcome guarantee. Pages loaded: home, /docteur-sami-mazhoud.php, /la-rhinoplastie.php, /chirurgie-esthetique.php, /visage.php, /silhouette.php.

| M8 | Cross-locale consistency All load-bearing fields agree. Mechanical comparison of 3 language fronts (fr, ar, x-العربية) on 2026-09-18: every matched physician name, phone number and published number appears on every front. [fronts] |
SEC | 5 | 2026-09-18 | |
| M9 | Patient documents Two or three. Two of the five document classes are published: informed consent (the rhinoplasty page states that a surgical consent form must be completed before the operation) and aftercare (« les suites opératoires » sections on the procedure pages). No risk or contraindication document, revision policy or complaint route was found.

Change history
| Date | Change |
|---|---|
| 24 September 2026 | axes.M4: null → null (Methodology v1.3: INEAS accreditation is voluntary and is not a facility register — the class is null in Tunisia, so M4 is not applicable (previously not_found against INEAS)) |
