  "finance": "The finance page advertises 0% APR over 6–12 months from £350 and 7.9% APR over 12–60 months from £1,000; its fee page instead says longer terms up to 36 months. This conflict needs confirmation. A no-deposit option is advertised. Credit is stated to be through Wesleyan Bank, subject to status and affordability, for UK residents over 18. The £299 home course alone falls below the published £350 threshold; ask whether the £499 course qualifies.",
  "experience": "The practice says it opened in the 1940s. Sorinela’s biography reports qualification in 1999 and eleven years in her own practice before moving to the UK. These are attributed practice statements.",

  "assessment": "Boscombe Manor practice listing £299 home whitening and a £499 Zoom package with a take-home top-up kit. The fee list dates from February 2025 and finance pages give inconsistent longer terms.",
