SEGES VERIFY · CLINIC EVIDENCE STANDARD V1.0
A draft clinic public-evidence publication standard, not a medical-quality ranking.
This draft defines the minimum conditions Seges Verify would need before publishing reproducible information about clinics in Taiwan. Its purpose is to show patients where information came from, when it was checked, and what remains unknown. It does not select treatment or issue an overall judgment of a clinic or practitioner.
As of 2026-08-14, no clinic Profile has been published under this standard. Private cases now have append-only public-web observations, a correction queue, and an independent-review workflow; public publication, an external challenge service, public expiry/revocation history, and legal review are not complete. Only after every control is auditable may a public Profile show a source, retrieval date, check date, expiry, evidence status, and correction path beside each conclusion.
The three intended public V1 surfaces
V1 · Identity & public operations
Name, address, phone, domain, identifiable entity, public practitioner information, and sources patients can use to check aesthetic-medicine service information.
V2 · Content & service information
Service boundaries, author and reviewer fields, update date, sources, risk and consultation boundaries, plus advertising or overclaim signals requiring human review.
V3 · Privacy & consent surface
Observable public-site and form fields, purpose notices, marketing separation, withdrawal paths, and tracker signals.
Evidence statuses: facts are not reduced to a score or star
| Public status | What it may mean | What it does not mean |
|---|---|---|
| Official source checked | Matches a named official public source or verifiable control proof. | Not a guarantee of clinical quality, outcomes, or individual suitability. |
| Documentary evidence checked | A document's source, date, integrity, and stated scope have been reviewed. | Not proof that every workflow outside that document has been audited. |
| Observed on public website | A text, field, or technical signal was observed on a specified public page at a stated time. | Not verification of back-office conduct, data flow, or legal compliance. |
| Human review / evidence pending | A system signal exists or acceptable evidence is still missing. | Not a finding of illegality, absence, or poor quality. |
Explicit exclusions
- No assessment of whether an individual patient is suitable for a procedure.
- No guarantee of efficacy, medical safety, practitioner skill, infection control, or all record-handling practices.
- No use of reviews, popularity, transaction volume, KOLs, or marketing budget as proof of medical quality.
- No bypass of CAPTCHAs, logins, or technical restrictions; official sources requiring human lookup are marked as human review.
- No collection of patient history, symptoms, photos, treatment information, chats, or other health data to create a public Profile.
Minimum workflow before public publication
- A clinic creates a private claim through a verified account and proves public-domain control with DNS, an HTTPS file, or HTML meta.
- For a domain-proven private case, the system can create a public-web observation without submitting forms, logging in, retaining raw HTML, or storing patient information; every re-scan appends evidence rows with a hash, timestamp, standard version, and expiry.
- Official sources, claimant-declared public assertions, and public-web observations are retained separately. Official sources gated by CAPTCHA or without a stable API stay human-checked rather than guessed automatically.
- A reviewer with a commercial or personal conflict is rejected; only an independent reviewer can record a sourced private identity decision.
- A clinic may submit a correction request with a public source, but it cannot overwrite append-only evidence, an official check, or a reviewer decision.
- Public publication, external challenges, public version/revocation history, and legal/data-retention acceptance remain required before opening this surface to patients.
Official sources patients can check directly
Verify may link to and describe these sources; it must never present them as government endorsement of Verify or of a clinic.
Fees & independence
Clinic fees may cover data organisation, systems, and the cost of a checking process. They cannot buy passage, rank, favourable conclusions, removal of gaps, or hidden versions. Seges website, content, and marketing services may not decide a Verify conclusion for the same case.
