1. General Rules

#	Description	Result	Comments
1.1	Every claim, magnitude, label, recommendation, and statement in the QRS is literally supported by content in the source ER.	🟢	Protocol, benefits, risks, monitoring markers, cadence, and qualitative items all trace to specific ER passages.
1.2	Where the ER uses cautious phrasing (“not formally studied”, “None documented in human trials to date”, “theoretical concern”, “data are limited”), the QRS uses the same phrasing.	🟢	“unproven” and “conflicting” mirror the ER Conclusion.
1.3	The QRS never strengthens an ER claim (e.g., “not formally studied” → “not required”) or softens one (e.g., “do not use during pregnancy” → “use with caution during pregnancy”).	🟢	Evidence strength preserved across tiers.
1.4	The QRS does not relabel an ER fact under a different decision category. A “Benefit-Modifying Factor” from ER section is not surfaced as a “Caution”; a “Risk-Modifying Factor” is not surfaced as a “Side Effect”; etc.	🟢	Contraindications from ER “populations who should avoid”; interactions from ER interactions bullets.
1.5	PubMed IDs, study citations, expert names, clinical trial identifiers (NCT*), and brand names appear in the QRS only if they appear in the source ER for the same fact.	🟢	QRS carries no citations, NCT IDs, or brand names.
1.6	The QRS does not introduce new attributions.	🟢	No attributions introduced.

2. Focus, Tone & Audience

#	Description	Result	Comments
2.1	The QRS follows the tone of the ER, which is determined by the ER’s own language, phrasing, and framing.	🟢	Objective, evidence-first tone matching the ER.
2.2	The tone of the QRS is simultaneously expert, accessible, objective, and data-driven, but also empowering and encouraging	🟢	Maintained throughout.
2.3	The QRS reads as a trusted, knowledgeable guide rather than a prescriptive doctor	🟢	Presents evidence, not directives.
2.4	The QRS avoids language that implies medical or clinical advice	🟢	No advice language.
2.5	The QRS “presents information” instead of “providing guidance”, “recommending”, or “advising”	🟢	Information-presenting throughout.
2.6	The QRS never addresses “the reader” directly — it presents evidence, not guidance	🟢	No second-person address.
2.7	The QRS is written in plain language, avoiding unnecessary medical jargon	🟢	Plain language used.
2.8	Information is presented in a concise and very compact manner	🟢	Compact card layout.
2.9	It DOES NOT address the reader directly	🟢	No “you/your”.
2.10	The target audience is health- and longevity-oriented adults who are risk-aware, proactive, and actively seeking to optimize health or apply the intervention under review.	🟢	Framing fits this audience.
2.11	The target audience is willing to employ lifestyle and behavioral changes as well as follow protocols that may be inconvenient, costly, or require effort.	🟢	Consistent with framing.
2.12	The document is NOT written for the general population, who are unwilling to employ lifestyle and behavioral changes or follow protocols that may be inconvenient, costly, or require effort.	🟢	Not general-population oriented.
2.13	Framing, takeaways, and risk/benefit weighting throughout the document reflect this audience, including where an intervention’s signal for the average person differs from its signal for this audience.	🟢	Weighting reflects the audience.
2.14	The document’s own voice frames usage in longevity terms, not “anti-aging” (e.g., “anti-aging clinics”, “anti-aging community”, “anti-aging medicine”). Proper names that contain “anti-aging” (e.g., “American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine”) are quoted verbatim.	🟢	Uses “Longevity”; no “anti-aging”.
2.15	The document’s own voice uses formal clinical and scientific terminology, not colloquial or consumer-grade language (e.g., “oral medication” not “pill(s)”; “injection” not “shot”; “adverse event” not “bad reaction”). Direct quotes from sources are exempt.	🟢	No colloquialisms; plain-language terms in At-A-Glance are required by 7.4.

3. Template Integrity

#	Description	Result	Comments
3.1	The following labels and headings on the QRS are fixed and not modified: Card and section headings (“Protocol”, “Time to effect”, “Benefits”, “Risk & Side Effects”, “Monitoring”, “Qualitative Assessment”); Gate headings (“Contraindications”, “Key Interactions”); Tier labels (“High”, “Medium”, “Low”, “Speculative”); Table column headers in Monitoring (“Marker”, “Target”, “Why”).	🟢	All fixed headings and labels present and unmodified.

7.2 — At-a-glance exceeds 60 words: [at_a_glance] (line 433) is 61 words, one over the 60-word limit.

7.2 — At-a-glance word count: Trimmed [at_a_glance] from 61 to 59 words by dropping “its” (“and its helpful acids” → “and helpful acids”) and rephrasing the final clause (“with results depending on” → “results depend on”), bringing it within the 60-word limit without altering meaning.
