| Axis | Finding (rubric anchor) | Value | Source class | Weight | Checked |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| M1 | Specialist certification of the responsible physician Found, status current; the registered specialty matches what this physician advertises. Starfsleyfaskrá: a second named physician on the clinic's team, Þórhildur Margrét Daníelsdóttir, holds the sérfræðileyfi Húðlækningar (dermatology, issued 16.06.2015); the clinic's own menu is laser/injectable/skin treatments. Lára Guðrún Sigurðardóttir (the physician on record at initial collection) holds a valid starfsleyfi as Læknir with no Sérgrein on file. [board2] |

| M5 | Legal-entity traceability The clinic names the legal entity or the responsible person in its legal notice and the record is found by name; or the number the clinic publishes leads to an entity with a different name that is tied to this location by the same address or the same responsible person. Húðin skin care ehf. [v1.3 2026-09-22: the number is not printed on the clinic pages (audit not_published); the clinic names the entity at https://hudin.is/ — matched by name] [rsk] |

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.
