This card enters the country directory as a twin and carries no entry in data/research/*.json, so import-research.js never touched it and respondsToReviews, recurringComplaints and suspiciousReviewPatterns had never been assessed at all. Written now: googleRating 4.8 → 4.8 (unchanged, re-verified); googleReviewCount 330 → 330 (histogram 295/20/1/1/13 = 330, weighted mean 4.767); reviewRecency null → within_year; respondsToReviews null → true; recurringComplaints null → false; suspiciousReviewPatterns null → false. The histogram sums to the place-page header count exactly and its weighted mean reproduces the published rating to one decimal. Fields this pass did not measure are untouched. The country twin was re-synchronised from this card in the same step; the two copies are identical except for the twin’s city key.

2026-09-07Metodología v1.4.0Narrowed the "Opaque or bait pricing" red flag to what its published definition describes. Until now the flag was applied automatically to every clinic that does not publish a price list — a harsher statement than the evidence supports, since the catalogue defines the flag as complaints about final bills materially exceeding quoted prices, or advertised prices that are not honoured. Not publishing prices is already scored: it costs the clinic points in the price transparency category, and it is not, on its own, evidence of bait pricing. The automatic rule is removed, so the flag and its 2-point penalty come off about 1,300 clinic pages across the index; no clinic gains a flag, and no weight, severity or other scoring rule changed. The flag can still be recorded against a clinic by hand with cited sources, and about 210 clinics carry such an entry today; we are reviewing those entries in a follow-up pass, because some of them were also written for nothing more than an unpublished price list.
2026-09-03Metodología v1.3.1Clarified that the publication criteria refer to the clinic’s own channels: a service list, the names of the dentists and a price list count when the clinic itself publishes them (its website, its social profiles or its own Google Business profile) — registers, directories and review sites do not, and a time-limited promotional offer is not a price list. Added a third state for a dentist’s licence, "checked, not found in the public register": a dentist we searched for in the national register and did not find is now recorded as checked-but-unverified with the date of the check, instead of being shown either as "not checked yet" or as the "not published" red flag. Neither change alters any weight or penalty; the red-flag rule still fires only on a verified negative. Also corrected the wording of the penalty note under the ranking table, which rendered as "20−" in right-to-left dictionaries.
2026-08-26Bow Lane Dental GroupDeepen 2026-08-26: rechecked website/contacts/operating status (all confirmed, open) and CQC registration (still active); Google Maps rating newly captured via direct lookup (4.9/539, corrects homepage's informal 5-star badge) with geo pin and place URL; added 2 external sources (Google Maps, fresh CQC re-verification); visibility scout 5 queries (all false today); no uncited sources on this clinic.
2026-08-26Bow Lane Dental GroupRecorded sedation / general anaesthesia availability (informational): not documented in public sources. Offers nitrous oxide ('laughing gas') and IV sedation framed as calming aids for nervous patients; conscious throughout.
2026-08-26Condor DentDeepen 2026-08-26: rechecked website/contacts/operating status (all confirmed, open); Google Maps rating newly captured (4.8/330, previously unset) with geo pin and place URL - review recency is comparatively stale (~7 months); added 2 external sources (Google Maps, Doctify); visibility scout 5 queries (all false today); no uncited sources on this clinic.
2026-08-26Dental Implants London (Medical & Dental Ltd)Deepen 2026-08-26: rechecked website/contacts/operating status (all confirmed, open); IMPORTANT correction - direct Google Maps verification today shows this clinic's Google Business Profile (20 Old Brompton Rd, phone/site confirmed matching) currently has NO reviews, contradicting the previously stored 4.9/247 (which was sourced from the clinic's own site/generic search, never independently Maps-verified) - rating/review-count corrected to null/0 with full explanation; a same-address but differently-branded/phoned listing ('South Kensington Medical and Dental Clinic') shows 4.9/434 but is a separate business profile and was not used. Added 1 external source (Google Maps) beyond the clinic's own site despite extensive additional searching (Doctify listing found under this name is a different address/clinic in Kingston Vale; the clinic's published CQC number 1-20629579981 does not resolve on cqc.org.uk today; no WhatClinic/Trustpilot/RealSelf presence found) - falls short of the usual 2-source target, documented honestly. Visibility scout 5 queries (implants and emergency = true via address match, others false); geo pin and place URL newly recorded; no uncited sources on this clinic.

2026-08-26E11even DentalRecorded sedation / general anaesthesia availability (informational): not documented in public sources. Implants placed under local anaesthetic only; no sedation/GA option mentioned anywhere in site navigation or treatment pages.

2026-08-25Dental Implants London (Medical & Dental Ltd)Doctor license verification 2026-08-25 against GDC by registration number (clinic already had a verified CQC registration number, 1-20629579981, so no new clinic-level search was performed): all 6 GDC numbers the clinic publishes for its clinicians were confirmed as Registered against the official register.
2026-08-25E11even DentalLicense verification 2026-08-25 against GDC and CQC: clinic's current CQC registration could not be confirmed (site's linked CQC reference is archived/address-mismatched per prior research) - left null, not false. Both named doctors share their full name with another currently-registered GDC dentist, so left null rather than guessed.
2026-08-25Harley Street Dental & Implant ClinicLicense verification 2026-08-25 against CQC: clinic CQC registration found (1-3957725008, exact address and phone match). No individual dentists are named on the clinic site, so no GDC doctor lookups were possible.

2026-08-25Metodología v1.3.0Corrected how the two licensing red flags are applied ("Clinic operating licence not published" and "Dentists / their licences not listed"). Previously they were applied whenever licensing data was absent from our records, which treated unchecked data as a negative finding — contrary to the methodology's own rule that unverified data is a fact about our coverage, not about the clinic. Both flags now apply only where we have verified that the information is not published. Manual licensing flags that rested on unverified data were removed from the affected clinics. No other scoring rules changed; most scores rise because the incorrect penalty is removed.
2026-08-25ODL Dental ClinicLicense verification 2026-08-25 against CQC: clinic CQC registration found (1-4409994839), superseding the site's own unnumbered 'CQC-accredited' claim. No individual dentists are named on the clinic site, so no GDC doctor lookups were possible.
2026-08-25Smile CliniqLicense verification 2026-08-25 against GDC and CQC: clinic CQC registration found (1-1503544149, St John's Wood address); 6 of 8 named doctors matched a single unambiguous GDC entry, 2 (both surnamed Patel) were ambiguous across multiple same-name registrants and left null rather than guessed.
2026-08-25tooth dental careLicense verification 2026-08-25 against GDC and CQC: clinic CQC registration found (1-11551511910). The one named team member is published with first name only (no surname), so GDC identity could not be verified - left null, not false.
2026-08-25Whites DentalLicense verification 2026-08-25 against GDC and CQC: both clinic locations (Waterloo and Marble Arch) found registered with CQC under provider One Dee Limited. All 5 named clinicians are published with first name only (no surname) on the clinic site, so GDC identity could not be verified for any of them - left null, not false.

2026-08-23Metodología v1.2.0Added an informational "Sedation & general anaesthesia" availability field to every clinic and a new "Sleep Dentistry (Sedation / GA)" list, for patients who cannot tolerate — or would rather not be awake for — treatment. This field is informational and does not change any transparency score.
