| 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. The medical director named by the clinic is listed in the Vienna chamber register at the clinic's own address with the specialist qualification that covers aesthetic surgery; the entry is current.

| M2 | Identifiability of the responsible physician Physician(s) named with role and tied to this address. Medical director named with role on the clinic site, tied to this address. [site] |
SEC | 16 | 2026-08-31 | |
| M3 | Basic medical licence Matched by name (surname stem and given name or initial; a second identifier where the name is ambiguous). Matched by name in the Ärzteliste; the public view of the register publishes no licence number, so the detail page URL and the retrieved fields are cited instead. A second physician named by the clinic appears in the register's employed-doctors tab at the same address. [board-turkof] |
OFF | 8 | 2026-09-20 | |
| M4 | Facility registration Record found: name, address and status match. BMASGPK facility register: A-Nr. A90616 "Hairstheticum – Ambulatorium für Haartransplantationen", Rahlgasse 1/11, 1060 Wien, website dhi-vienna.com — name, address and website match. [ambulatorien] |
OFF | 10 | 2026-08-31 | |
| 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. Firmenbuch FN 578017a, Hairstheticum GmbH, Rahlgasse 1/11, 1060 Wien — matches the facility register address; the site's own impressum names the same FN and a UID number. [v1.3 2026-09-22: the number is not printed on the clinic pages (audit not_published); the clinic names the entity at https://www.dhi-vienna.com/impressum/ — matched by name] [firmenbuch] |
OFF | 8 | 2026-09-22 | |
| M6 | Self-disclosure of identifiers Partial, without issuers. Firmenbuchnummer and UID are published on the site with the registering court (Handelsgericht Wien) named; the company's legal representative named is not a physician, and no physician licence number is shown. [site-impressum] |
SEC | 10 | 2026-08-31 | |
| 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. Systematic self-declared superlatives on the English site (a "world's most innovative" claim, a "100% natural look" claim and a stated hair-follicle growth percentage), none attributed to a named issuer.

| M8 | Cross-locale consistency All load-bearing fields agree. Mechanical comparison of 2 language fronts (de, en) on 2026-09-17: every matched physician name, phone number and published number appears on every front. [fronts] |
SEC | 5 | 2026-09-17 | |
