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. | 🟢 | Spot-checked every populated span against the ER; all trace to ER text (Conclusion, Therapeutic Protocol, Practical Considerations, Expected Benefits, Potential Risks, Key Interactions & Contraindications, Monitoring Protocol). |
| 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. | 🟢 | “No circadian data exist” (action_3_sub) and “No established target” (marker_2_target) reproduce the ER’s own hedges verbatim. |
| 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”). | 🟢 | Contraindication and interaction severities preserved; no hedge removed and no caution downgraded. |
| 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. | 🟢 | stop_items come from the ER’s “Populations who should avoid Boron” list; caution_items from the ER’s interaction bullets; no Benefit-/Risk-Modifying Factor is repurposed. |
| 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. | 🟢 | No PMIDs, author names, NCT identifiers or brand names appear anywhere in the QRS; FutureCeuticals and FruiteX-B were correctly stripped from action_2_sub. |
| 1.6 | The QRS does not introduce new attributions. | 🟢 | No attribution of any kind is 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. | 🟢 | Sober, evidence-weighted register matching the ER. |
| 2.2 | The tone of the QRS is simultaneously expert, accessible, objective, and data-driven, but also empowering and encouraging | 🟢 | Expert and data-driven while remaining readable. |
| 2.3 | The QRS reads as a trusted, knowledgeable guide rather than a prescriptive doctor | 🟢 | Presents evidence tiers rather than instructions. |
| 2.4 | The QRS avoids language that implies medical or clinical advice | 🟢 | No prescriptive or clinical-advice phrasing; footer disclaimer intact. |
| 2.5 | The QRS “presents information” instead of “providing guidance”, “recommending”, or “advising” | 🟢 | Content is presented, not recommended. |
| 2.6 | The QRS never addresses “the reader” directly — it presents evidence, not guidance | 🟢 | No second-person pronouns anywhere in the file. |
| 2.7 | The QRS is written in plain language, avoiding unnecessary medical jargon | 🟢 | Technical terms are the ER’s own; jargon is expanded or avoided. |
| 2.8 | Information is presented in a concise and very compact manner | 🟢 | All items condensed to headings or key facts. |
| 2.9 | It DOES NOT address the reader directly | 🟢 | Confirmed: 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 targets proactive, risk-aware readers. |
| 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. | 🟢 | Protocol, monitoring and qualitative panels assume willingness to test and track. |
| 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 written for a general-population audience. |
| 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. | 🟢 | At-a-glance flags the company-funding caveat and the thin testosterone/bone evidence, matching the ER’s weighting for this 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. | 🟢 | “anti-aging” does not appear. |
| 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. | 🟢 | Clinical register throughout (“gastrointestinal upset”, “estimated glomerular filtration rate”, “malignancy”); plainer terms are the ER’s own wording. |
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, gate headings, tier labels and Monitoring column headers match the template exactly. |
| 3.2 | All “<span data-qrs-var=”NAME”>…</span>” from the [qrs_template] are present in the the QRS. | 🟢 | 67 data-qrs-var spans present, covering every template variable including the marker_#* and qualitative_item# expansions. |
| 3.3 | Spans that are not addressed in a checklist item are left unchanged | 🟢 | Non-variable spans (website=”evidence_review”, website=”audit”, website=”full_review”) are untouched. |
4. Formatting
| # | Description | Result | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4.1 | When the source ER section is empty, the QRS uses the ER’s own empty-state phrasing verbatim. Typical phrasings are “None documented in human trials to date” and “Not formally studied” | N/A | No source ER section is empty. The ER’s High-risk tier carries an explanatory sentence rather than empty-state phrasing, and that case is governed by 13.5. |
| 4.2 | Where the ER presents a bulleted item as “Label: content”, the QRS uses the ER’s bold label verbatim as the cell or row label. | 🟢 | Protocol cell labels reproduce the ER bold labels verbatim: “Standard maintenance dose”, “Joint-comfort protocol”, “Best time of day”. |
| 4.3 | Labels are not paraphrased, abbreviated, or invented. | 🟢 | Marker names match the ER Monitoring table rows verbatim; no invented labels. |
| 4.4 | The QRS DOES NOT use emoji indicators (no 🟩, 🟥, 🟨, etc.). Color and emphasis are conveyed through CSS and bold labels. | 🟢 | No emoji present in the file. |
| 4.5 | The QRS is designed to render on one A4 page. Any section that has more content in the ER than fits the per-section budget is condensed by the LLM, not extended onto a second page. | 🟢 | Every section is condensed to headings or single key facts; the document is a single sheet with no second-page content. |
5. Metadata

| 8.3 | Individual [stop_items] are formatted as <li></li> | 🟢 | Each item is its own <li>. |
| 8.4 | Items are as concise as possible. No trailing explanations, no elaborations, no mechanistic rationale, no attributions, no citations, no study details. No content after an em-dash, en-dash, or hyphen-dash (e.g., “— dose reduction required”, “— reduced efficacy”) — these trailing clauses are stripped. Just the key fact. | 🟢 | Rationales stripped, e.g. “given the animal developmental toxicity…”, “in whom boric acid has a long history of accidental poisoning…”, “inorganic boron salts remain an option”; no trailing dash clauses remain. |
| 8.5 | Parenthetical qualifiers from the ER bullet — time windows, severity classes, threshold values, clinical staging — ARE preserved as part of the item, kept as concise as possible (shortened or trimmed where needed to fit the one-page budget, but never dropped entirely). | 🟢 | Thresholds and staging preserved: “stage 4 or 5 (filtration rate below 30 mL/min/1.73 m²)”, “(breast, endometrial, prostate under androgen-deprivation or aromatase-inhibitor therapy)”, “(calcium fructoborate specifically)”. |
| 8.6 | When the ER uses ranking notation inside parens (e.g., “>” for severity ordering) that depends on an explanatory phrase to interpret, normalize the items to a plain comma-separated list rather than carrying through the bare symbol. | N/A | The ER uses no ranking notation inside parentheses in this section. |
| 8.7 | The section is left empty ONLY IF the ER’s Key Interactions & Contraindications section identifies no population, condition, or scenario for which the intervention should be avoided, deferred, or used only under specialist supervision. |
🟢 | The section is populated, and the ER does identify populations that should avoid boron. |
| 8.8 | If the section is left empty, an HTML comment inside the [stop_items] span records the ER basis for the absence, naming or quoting the ER text relied on. E.g. <!– empty: ER names no population that should avoid the intervention –> | N/A | The section is not empty. |
9. Key Interactions

| 9.6 | When the ER uses ranking notation inside parens (e.g., “>” for severity ordering) that depends on an explanatory phrase to interpret, normalize the items to a plain comma-separated list rather than carrying through the bare symbol. | N/A | The ER uses no ranking notation inside parentheses in this section. |
| 9.7 | The section is left empty ONLY IF the ER’s Key Interactions & Contraindications section identifies no interaction, additive effect, or exposure that changes how the intervention is used. |
🟢 | The section is populated, and the ER does identify interactions. |
| 9.8 | If the section is left empty, an HTML comment inside the [caution_items] span records the ER basis for the absence, naming or quoting the ER text relied on. E.g. <!– empty: ER names no interaction that changes how the intervention is used –> | N/A | The section is not empty. |
