Conflict of interest statement

Beirut Dental Rating’s operator has a commercial interest in Younes Dental Clinic (YDC-Beirut), one of the clinics included in the rankings. We disclose that on this page rather than burying it.

• The scoring formula is fixed, published in full on the methodology page, and applied identically to every clinic. Positions are computed, never assigned.
• No clinic — including Younes Dental Clinic — can have its score, rank or eligibility edited by hand. The only editable inputs are verified facts, each stored with the public source it came from.
• Every criterion behind a score is shown on the clinic’s own breakdown page, so any reader or competitor can recompute the result and challenge it.
• A high position earned by publishing more information than competitors is a consequence of the criteria, not a favour. If a competing clinic publishes the same information, the formula moves it up automatically.

Ranking positions, badges, featured slots and inclusion itself are not for sale. We do not accept payment, advertising, affiliate commission, referral fees or gifts from any clinic listed. There is currently no advertising on Beirut Dental Rating. If that ever changes, paid units will be labelled as advertising and kept entirely outside the scoring formula, and this page will be updated first.

If you believe a specific score reflects our interest rather than the evidence, send the criterion and your reasoning through the corrections process. Substantiated challenges are acted on and the change is dated on the profile.
