- M5 · Legal-entity traceability SECCompany register entry found for Antonio Pitanguy Serviços Médicos Ltda (Clínica Antônio Pitanguy) (40.899.949/0001-90); the clinic's own surface names neither the entity nor the number.[cnpj]
What we could not verify

- M8 · Cross-locale consistency — Single language front
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.
