| 2026-09-07 | Metodología v1.4.0 | 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we are reviewing those entries in a follow-up pass, because some of them were also written for nothing more than an unpublished price list.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 | Metodología v1.3.1 | 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 | Clinica Guilherme Rothier (Odontologia Estetica) | Re-verification 2026-08-25: confirmed website live, address and phone unchanged, clinic open (Google Maps); recorded Google rating 4.9 (122 reviews) and Maps place URL/coordinates (not previously tracked). Note: a second, separately-listed Google Business profile 'Clinica Rothier Odontologia Integrada Invisalign Ipanema' (5.0, 124 reviews) exists at a nearby suite (Sl 719) in the same building - likely a related but distinct listing, not used here. |
| 2026-08-25 | Clinica Odontoliuzzi | Re-verification 2026-08-25: website (odontoliuzzi.com.br) returned HTTP 403 to automated fetch and could not be independently verified; confirmed via Google Maps profile that address is unchanged and clinic is open. Maps lists phone +55 21 96933-5067, differing from stored +55 21 3165-0909 - recorded as a correction (site could not be checked to reconcile). Recorded Google rating 4.9 (189 reviews) and Maps place URL/coordinates. |
| 2026-08-25 | Clinica Odontoliuzzi | License verification 2026-08-25 against Brazil dental registries: CNES estabelecimentos API (open, clinics scope) was unreachable (HTTP 503/connection-refused, repeated attempts) and CFO/CRO-RJ (dentist and both-scope) are captcha-gated - no registry lookup possible for the clinic or for Dra. Natalia Liuzzi Grossi Morales; recorded as null with notes. |
| 2026-08-25 | Clinica Odontologica For Dent (ForDent Odontologia) | Re-verification 2026-08-25: confirmed website live, address and phone unchanged, clinic open (Google Maps); recorded Google rating 4.1 (107 reviews) and Maps place URL/coordinates (not previously tracked). |

| 2026-08-25 | Clínica Rio Smile Odontologia | Re-verification 2026-08-25: no website on file to check (unchanged). Google Maps now lists the same address (R. Maria Quiteria 68, Sl 301) and same phone (+55 21 2287-1016) under the business name 'Clinica Rio Smile Odontologia' (rating 4.2, 15 reviews) rather than 'OII' - recorded as a likely rename/successor listing, though this could not be confirmed via an official site. Clinic is open; recorded Maps place URL/coordinates. |

| 2026-08-25 | Facenter - Centro de Diagnostico Digital da Face (Ipanema) | Re-verification 2026-08-25: confirmed website live (this is a dental radiology/imaging center, not a treatment clinic), address and phone unchanged, open (Google Maps); recorded Google rating 4.7 (837 reviews), reviewRecency within_3_months, and Maps place URL/coordinates. |

| 2026-08-25 | Gustavo Bastos Odontologia (Ortodontia e Estetica) | Re-verification 2026-08-25: Google Maps' business listing for 'Gustavo Bastos Odontologia - RJ' (website gustavobastos.com.br, matching stored domain) now shows the clinic at Av. Ataulfo de Paiva 391-704, Leblon, with phone +55 21 98810-2383 - a relocation from the stored Rua Visconde de Piraja 407, Ipanema address/phone +55 21 2267-8373; recorded as corrections.

| 2026-08-25 | Irio Odontologia (Barra da Tijuca) | Re-verification 2026-08-25: website loaded but rendered minimal extractable content (JS-heavy site), so address/phone could not be confirmed from it directly; confirmed via Google Maps that clinic is open. Maps shows postal code 22631-004 (was 22631-003) and phone +55 21 98900-3446 (was +55 21 3363-1000) - recorded as corrections. Recorded Google rating 5.0 (1184 reviews) and Maps place URL/coordinates. |
| 2026-08-25 | Metodología v1.3.0 | 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 | Metodología v1.2.0 | 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 | Metodología v1.1.0 | 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. |
