|---|---|---|
| 2026-10-16 | المنهجية الإصدار 1.4.2 | Clarified when dentist names count: a name published by the clinic counts when it lets a patient find the dentist in a professional register; a first name alone is not enough, nor is a first name with a patronymic where surnames are in use. Applied the same day to the clinics whose own channels name their dentists by first name only, which lose the points for dentist names. No other score changes. |
| 2026-10-07 | المنهجية الإصدار 1.4.1 | Added a limit on re-checks made at a clinic's request: the next request from the same clinic about its own page is taken up no sooner than one month after the last re-check made at its request, which is dated in the clinic's change history; requests sent earlier are not processed. Corrections reported by anyone else are handled as before. No score changes. |

| 2026-09-07 | المنهجية الإصدار 1.4.0 | Narrowed 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we are reviewing those entries in a follow-up pass, because some of them were also written for nothing more than an unpublished price list. |
| 2026-09-03 | Al Amal Smile Centre | Google rating and review count re-read live in a browser on the Maps place page (4.1 / 17): unchanged from the 2026-09-02 reading, which is therefore corroborated. |
| 2026-09-03 | Al Amal Smile Centre | Reputation pass 2026-09-03 (browser): the clinic's Google Maps place page was reopened on its Reviews tab and the star histogram, the visible reviews, their dates, their reviewer profiles and the owner replies were read. reviewRecency, respondsToReviews, recurringComplaints and suspiciousReviewPatterns set from that read, each carrying the sample size and the read order on the criterion itself. Rating and review count reproduced unchanged from the histogram. recurringComplaints false; suspiciousReviewPatterns false. |
| 2026-09-03 | Al Rabeea Dental Center Isa Town | Rule A: serviceListPublished re-sourced from the register (reg1) to the clinic's own chain-wide /services/ page (real itemised list found) — value stays true but the basis changes from "published by a directory/register" to "published by the clinic", with the chain-wide caveat disclosed. Rule E: NHRA facility register snapshot date (2026-02-04) prepended to the licence text so the 24-07-2026 expiry doesn't read as an unexplained lapse. Prices: alrabeehdental.com (chain site) — checked /prices, /price-list, /pricing, /offers, /fees paths plus the homepage nav for a price link — no price list found; pricesPublished:false / opaque_prices stands. |

| 2026-09-03 | Albaqali Dental Center | Rule A: serviceListPublished true->false — the clinic's own site is a one-page link-in-bio landing page with no service list (checked 2026-09-03); the NHRA register text it was previously sourced to is a register fact, not a clinic publication, and moved to the clinic note. Rule E: NHRA facility register snapshot date (2026-02-04) prepended to the licence text so the 22-03-2026 expiry doesn't read as an unexplained lapse. Prices: same one-page site has no /prices path or price content — pricesPublished:false / opaque_prices stands. |

| 2026-09-03 | Awal Dental Specialist Center | Rule A: serviceListPublished true->null — register-sourced only (reg1); the s1 source is a third-party zavis.ai directory listing, not the clinic's own channel; no website/Facebook to check; the Google Business profile carries no service-list source of its own. |

| 2026-09-03 | Awal Dental Specialist Center | Rule A via the Google Business profile (browser, 2026-09-03): serviceListPublished null -> false. The clinic-managed Maps place page was opened and read; it renders no Services or Products tab and no 'From the business' description, only the category 'Dental clinic'. This closes the "GBP not checkable without a browser" caveat left by the 2026-09-03 policy pass, which had left the value null for exactly that reason. |
| 2026-09-03 | Barada Dental Center | Rule A: serviceListPublished true->null — register-sourced only (reg1), the s1 source is a third-party zavis.ai directory listing not the clinic's own channel, and there is no website/Facebook to check; the Google Business profile carries no service-list source of its own.

| 2026-09-03 | المنهجية الإصدار 1.3.1 | Clarified 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. |

| 2026-08-25 | المنهجية الإصدار 1.3.0 | Corrected 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. |
| 2026-08-23 | المنهجية الإصدار 1.2.0 | Added 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. |
| 2026-07-08 | المنهجية الإصدار 1.1.0 | Added licensing transparency: clinics are now penalised when they do not publish their operating licence, or do not list their dentists together with their professional licence numbers. Each clinic page now shows a Licensing & Credentials section. |
