An independent, open-methodology index of dental clinics in Kenya. We score publicly verifiable factors — information transparency, price transparency, reputation signals, documented infrastructure, communication accessibility, and search visibility — on a 100-point scale. We do not rate clinical quality, and we do not sell ranking positions.
