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. 🟢 Every string traced: protocol doses to ER lines 313–317, timing to 325/367, gates to 271–293, markers and cadence to 389–400, qualitative items to 404–409, at-a-glance to Conclusion 427–431.
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. 🟢 “Never measured in humans” (time_3_value) and “No established target” (marker_6_target) mirror ER lines 325 and 400.
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”). 🟢 Contraindications remain absolute; MAOIs stay a contraindication rather than a caution, matching ER line 271.
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. 🟢 No Benefit- or Risk-Modifying Factor and no Risk Mitigation Strategy is surfaced; each card draws only from its mapped ER section.
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. 🟢 The QRS carries no PMIDs, citations, expert names, NCT IDs, or brand names at all.
1.6 The QRS does not introduce new attributions. 🟢 No attribution of any kind is present.

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. 🟢 Matches the ER’s plain, blunt register, including “Human evidence is all but empty” against ER line 429.
2.2 The tone of the QRS is simultaneously expert, accessible, objective, and data-driven, but also empowering and encouraging 🟢 Tight functional targets and a trackable cadence give the reader actionable leverage without overselling the evidence.
2.3 The QRS reads as a trusted, knowledgeable guide rather than a prescriptive doctor 🟢 Statements are declarative (“Morning with food is the conventional choice”), not instructional.
2.4 The QRS avoids language that implies medical or clinical advice 🟢 No imperative or prescriptive verbs; gates and markers are stated as facts drawn from the ER.
2.5 The QRS “presents information” instead of “providing guidance”, “recommending”, or “advising” 🟢 No occurrence of “recommend”, “advise”, “should”, or “guidance” anywhere in the body.
2.6 The QRS never addresses “the reader” directly — it presents evidence, not guidance 🟢 No second-person pronoun appears; marker_6_target uses “the individual’s own baseline”.
2.7 The QRS is written in plain language, avoiding unnecessary medical jargon 🟢 Enzyme and drug-class names are spelled out in full (alanine aminotransferase, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) rather than abbreviated.
2.8 Information is presented in a concise and very compact manner 🟢 Gate and tier items are reduced to bare facts; all mechanistic and severity clauses are stripped.
2.9 It DOES NOT address the reader directly 🟢 Confirmed: no “you”, “your”, “we”, or “our” in the rendered body.
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 assumes a reader who will bank a baseline semen analysis and demand functional rather than laboratory reference ranges.
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. 🟢 Monitoring cadence spanning 8 weeks to 12 months and repeat semen analysis presume that willingness.
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. 🟢 No simplification to a general-population “ask your doctor” register.
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 weighs a replicated animal signal against an empty human record and a category contamination problem.
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” / “antiaging” does not occur; the title uses “Health & Longevity”.
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. 🟢 Formal terms throughout (“erosive gastritis”, “Child-Pugh Class B or C cirrhosis”, “monoamine oxidase inhibitors”); no “pill” or “shot”.

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 fifteen fixed strings verified byte-identical to the template.
3.2 All “” from the [qrs_template] are present in the the QRS. 🟢 All 34 template variables present; the repeatable marker_#* and qualitative_item# spans are instantiated as marker_1..6 and qualitative_item_1..6.
3.3 Spans that are not addressed in a checklist item are left unchanged 🟢 Normalised diff against the template shows no change beyond filled variables, the three required display:none attributes, and repeated table/list rows; the website="evidence_review", website="audit", and website="full_review" spans, CSS, and footer 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 unpopulated benefit and risk tiers are governed by items 12.5 and 13.5 instead.
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. 🟢 “Modern supplement protocol”, “Seed oil protocol”, “Standard traditional protocol”, “Half-life”, and all seven interaction labels are carried over verbatim from the ER bold labels.
4.3 Labels are not paraphrased, abbreviated, or invented. 🟢 Benefit and risk items reuse the ER subsection headings verbatim; marker names match the ER biomarker table exactly.
4.4 The QRS DOES NOT use emoji indicators (no 🟩, 🟥, 🟨, etc.). Color and emphasis are conveyed through CSS and bold labels. 🟢 Scan of all non-ASCII characters returns only µ, ×, en dash, and em dash — no emoji; the ER’s “⚠️ Conflicted” marker was correctly dropped.
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. 🟢 Structure is unchanged from the one-page template and every section is condensed to the budget: at-a-glance 60 words, tier lists single-line, gate items stripped to bare facts.

5. Metadata

# Description Result Comments
5.1 The metadata is placed inside a single HTML comment that is the first element after “<!doctype html>” and before any other comment, head, or body content. 🟢 Lines 2–14, ahead of the template comment at line 16.
5.2 Inside that HTML comment the YAML block is delimited by a line “—” opening and a line “—” closing. Text before the opening “—” is permitted but is not parsed as YAML. 🟢 Opening “—” on line 3, closing “—” on line 13; the preamble text sits on line 2.
5.3 The metadata is not visible in any rendered view of the QRS and is not surfaced by any other element on the sheet. 🟢 Enclosed in an HTML comment and not echoed by any visible element.
5.4 All frontmatter values are trimmed: no leading or trailing whitespace, no surrounding quotes unless the value contains a colon, bracket, or leading special character that requires YAML quoting. 🟢 All nine values trimmed; only duration: "00:04" is quoted, which its colon requires.
5.5 The filename of the source ER is stated as “er_filename: [er_filename]” 🟢 Line 4: er_filename: celastrus_paniculatus_2026-0825-1134_Opus_ER.md, which matches the ER’s own filename field.
5.6 Version of the QRS.md file used to create the document is stated as “qrs_prompt_version: [Version of QRS.md]” 🟢 Line 5: qrs_prompt_version: 26.7.02, matching the version badge in QRS.md.
5.7 Creation date and time of the document is stated as “qrs_creation_date: [YYYY-MMDD-HHMM]” (e.g., 2026-0501-1430) 🟢 Line 6: qrs_creation_date: 2026-0817-1324, correct format.
5.8 The nickname of the AI used to create the document is stated as “qrs_creator_ai_nickname: [qrs_creator_ai_nickname]” 🟢 Line 7: qrs_creator_ai_nickname: Opus.
5.9 The nickname of the AI is just a single word model name without version, etc. (e.g., Opus, Sonnet, Grok, Gemini, ChatGPT) 🟢 “Opus” is a single bare word.
5.10 The full name of the AI used to create the document is stated as “qrs_creator_ai_fullname: [qrs_creator_ai_fullname]” 🟢 Line 8: qrs_creator_ai_fullname: Opus 5.
5.11 The full name of the AI consists of the [qrs_creator_ai_nickname] and the model version number and no additional qualifier (e.g., Opus 4.6, Sonnet 3.2, Grok 4.5, Gemini 3.1, ChatGPT 5.4) 🟢 “Opus 5” is nickname plus version with no qualifier.
5.12 The filename of the document is stated as “qrs_filename: [filename of this document]” 🟢 Line 9 matches the file’s actual name on disk.
5.13 All frontmatter values are trimmed: no leading or trailing whitespace, no surrounding quotes unless the value contains a colon, bracket, or leading special character that requires YAML quoting. 🟢 Re-verified: no stray whitespace and no unnecessary quoting.

6. Page Title & Header

# Description Result Comments
6.1 [page_title] is set to the [canonical_topic] of the ER frontmatter followed by “ - Quick Reference Sheet” (e.g., “Intervention - Quick Reference Sheet”). The [canonical_topic] is HTML-entity-encoded as needed (e.g., &amp; for &) 🟢 “Celastrus paniculatus for Health & Longevity - Quick Reference Sheet”, with the ampersand encoded.
6.2 [header_topic] is set to the [canonical_topic] of the ER frontmatter, with HTML entities encoded as needed (e.g., &amp; for &) 🟢 “Celastrus paniculatus for Health & Longevity”, matching ER frontmatter line 8.
6.3 [header_subline_date] is set to [qrs_creation_date reformatted as MM/DD/YYYY] 🟢 “08/17/2026” correctly derived from qrs_creation_date 2026-0817-1324.
6.4 [header_subline_model] is set to [qrs_creator_ai_fullname] 🟢 “Opus 5”, identical to the frontmatter value.
6.5 No additional header content appears: no badge, version stamp, AKA / alternate names line, source-AI attribution, audit date, or QRS variant marker. 🟢 Header holds only the title and the template subline; the ER’s “Also known as” line was not carried over.

7. At-A-Glance Section

# Description Result Comments
7.1 [at_a_glance] is dense, execution-oriented summary of the ER Conclusion section 🟢 Compresses all four Conclusion paragraphs (ER lines 427–433) into benefit signal, evidence gap, animal harms, and contamination.
7.2 [at_a_glance] is no longer than 60 words 🟢 Counted programmatically: exactly 60 words.
7.3 Every fact in [at_a_glance] is supported by a distinct passage in the ER. 🟢 Each clause maps to a distinct Conclusion passage: line 427 for the benefit list, 429 for the empty human record and animal harms, 431 for heavy metals.
7.4 It DOES NOT use acronyms or technical classifications that require specialist knowledge, uses plain-language terms instead 🟢 No acronyms; “nerve cells”, “stomach burning”, and “brain tonic” replace clinical register throughout.
7.5 It DOES NOT cite specific trials (names, years, sample sizes, p-values) 🟢 No study name, year, or sample size appears.
7.6 It DOES NOT cite effect sizes, relative risks, or statistical results 🟢 No numeric effect estimate; the contamination point is stated qualitatively.

8. Contraindications

# Description Result Comments
8.1 The section is derived from the ER Key Interactions & Contraindications section 🟢 Sourced from the “Populations who should avoid Celastrus paniculatus” list plus the MAOI contraindication in that section (ER lines 271, 285–293).
8.2 [stop_items] represent the Contraindications from the ER 🟢 All seven ER avoid-populations are present, with the MAOI class correctly promoted from the interactions bullet where the ER calls it “an absolute contraindication”.
8.3 Individual [stop_items] are formatted as <li></li> 🟢 Seven discrete <li> elements inside the span.
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. 🟢 Every ER rationale clause stripped (“given traditional use…”, “since no data exist on transfer into milk”, “for whom no dosing or safety data exist”); no dash-led clause remains.
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). 🟢 The 74-day window, the three-times-upper-limit-of-normal threshold, Child-Pugh Class B or C staging, and the 14-day MAOI washout are all retained.
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 ER names seven such populations, and the section is correspondingly populated rather than empty.
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. N/A The section is not empty.

9. Key Interactions

# Description Result Comments
9.1 The section is derived from the ER Key Interactions & Contraindications section 🟢 All seven items map one-to-one onto the ER interaction bullets at lines 271–283.
9.2 [caution_items] represent the Key Interactions from the ER, excluding any that are already listed as Contraindications 🟢 The “Serotonergic antidepressants” item carries only the SSRI half; the MAOI half sits in Contraindications and is not duplicated here.
9.3 Individual [caution_items] are formatted as <li></li> 🟢 Seven discrete <li> elements, each with the ER’s bold label.
9.4 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. 🟢 Every Severity, Consequence, and Mitigation clause is stripped, as is the ER’s em-dash gloss “— dementia drugs that raise acetylcholine”.
9.5 Parenthetical qualifiers from the ER bullet — example drug lists, 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). 🟢 All named example drugs retained, verified against the ER: sertraline/fluoxetine, diazepam/lorazepam, zolpidem/eszopiclone, donepezil/rivastigmine/galantamine, atorvastatin/rosuvastatin, diphenhydramine/doxylamine, ibuprofen/naproxen, alpha-GPC/citicoline/huperzine A, St John’s wort/5-HTP/S-adenosylmethionine, valerian/kava/melatonin.
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 ER lists seven interaction classes, and the section is populated accordingly.
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. N/A The section is not empty.

10. Protocol

# Description Result Comments
10.1 The section is derived from the ER Protocol section 🟢 All three cells draw from the ER “Therapeutic Protocol” bullets at lines 313–317 and 323.
10.2 The three sets of [action] items cover the three most important actionable implementation aspects from the ER Protocol section 🟢 The three dosable forms — modern capsule, pressed oil, traditional seed titration — are the only directly actionable bullets; the remainder of the ER section is commentary on comparison, timing, and modifiers.
10.3 If less that three distinct actionable implementation aspects are mentioned in the ER the unused sets are left empty and made invisible, not filled with placeholder text or empty-state phrasing. N/A The ER supplies three distinct actionable aspects, so all three sets are used.
10.4 All used [action_#label], [action#value], [action#_sub] items are filled with meaningful content derived from the ER Protocol section. 🟢 All nine fields populated; e.g. action_1 reproduces “400–500 mg of seed powder or water extract, taken once or twice daily” from ER line 315.

11. Time to Effect

# Description Result Comments
11.1 The three sets of [time] items cover the three most important time-to-effect aspects from the ER 🟢 Onset delay, assessment horizon, and half-life — the only three timing facts the ER supplies (lines 325 and 367).
11.2 The sets are picked and ordered by the magnitude of the related benefit 🟢 Memory and learning, the ER’s best-replicated benefit domain, leads; the assessment window and the unmeasured half-life follow as progressively less benefit-specific.
11.3 If less that three distinct time-to-effect aspects are mentioned in the ER the unused sets are left empty and made invisible, not filled with placeholder text or empty-state phrasing. N/A The ER supplies three distinct time-to-effect aspects, so all three sets are used.
11.4 All used [time_#label], [time#value], [time#_sub] items are filled with meaningful content derived from the ER. 🟢 All nine fields populated; “14–30 days” and “single doses are ineffective” are lifted from ER lines 325 and 367.
11.5 If the ER does not provide any information on time to effect, the section is removed completely from the Protocol Panel N/A The ER does provide time-to-effect information, so the section is correctly retained.

12. Benefits

# Description Result Comments
12.1 The section is derived from the ER Expected Benefits section 🟢 Tiers and items correspond exactly to the ER Expected Benefits subsections at lines 131–193.
12.2 Key variables are [benefits_high], [benefits_medium], [benefits_low], [benefits_speculative] 🟢 All four spans present and correctly assigned.
12.3 Items are as concise as possible. No explanations, no elaborations, no effect sizes, no qualifiers, no attributions, no citations, no study details, no mechanistic explanations, etc. Just the key fact. 🟢 Reduced to the bare ER subsection headings; all Magnitude paragraphs, doses, and the “⚠️ Conflicted” qualifier are dropped.
12.4 Parenthetical content — including effect sizes, sample notes, mechanistic hints, and example studies — is stripped, NOT preserved. 🟢 No parentheses remain in either benefits span.
12.5 If no items of a specific sub-section (high, medium, low, speculative) are present the respective is set to “display=none”, not filled with “None documented in human trials to date” or similar empty-state phrasing. 🟢 benefits_high and benefits_medium carry style="display: none" with no empty-state text, matching the ER’s “No benefit… reaches this evidence level” at lines 133 and 137.

13. Risks

# Description Result Comments
13.1 The section is derived from the ER Potential Risks & Side Effects section 🟢 All seven items map to the ER risk subsections at lines 211–255.
13.2 Key variables are [risks_high], [risks_medium], [risks_low], [risks_speculative] 🟢 All four spans present and correctly assigned.
13.3 Items are as concise as possible. No explanations, no elaborations, no effect sizes, no qualifiers, no attributions, no citations, no study details, no mechanistic explanations, etc. Just the key fact. 🟢 Bare ER headings only; the 20.7%-of-193-products figure and all Magnitude detail are dropped.
13.4 Parenthetical content — including frequencies, severity grades, sample notes, mechanistic hints, and example studies — is stripped, NOT preserved. 🟢 No parentheses remain in any risks span.
13.5 If no items of a specific sub-section (high, medium, low, speculative) are present the respective is set to “display=none”, not filled with “None documented in human trials to date” or similar empty-state phrasing. 🟢 risks_high carries style="display: none" with no empty-state text, matching the ER’s “No risk reaches this evidence level” at line 213.

14. Monitoring

# Description Result Comments
14.1 The section is derived from the ER Monitoring section 🟢 Table and cadence both come from the ER “Monitoring Protocol & Defining Success” section, lines 389–400.
14.2 All measurable/quantifiable biomarkers from the Monitoring section are listed 🟢 All six rows of the ER biomarker table are present with matching names, targets, and rationales.
14.3 [monitoring_cadence] is populated with the monitoring cadence/frequency derived from the ER Monitoring section. It is not left with placeholder text or empty. 🟢 Reproduces the ER cadence at lines 389–391 and 400: liver enzymes at 8 weeks, 6 months, then annually; lipids and hsCRP at 12 weeks; semen analysis banked and repeated at 6 months; metals only on source change or unexplained symptoms.

15. Qualitative Assessment

# Description Result Comments
15.1 The section is derived from the ER Monitoring section 🟢 Taken from the ER’s “Qualitative markers to track alongside the labs” list at lines 402–409.
15.2 All subjective/qualitative biomarkers from the Monitoring section are listed 🟢 All six ER qualitative markers present, in ER order, as qualitative_item_1 through qualitative_item_6.

Pass rate 100.00%. No issues found.

Issues 17/08/2026 13:33

  1. 1.1 / 7.3 — At-A-Glance overstates animal-only harms: [at_a_glance] (line 437) asserts “Harms are animal-only”, but the ER Conclusion (ER line 429) pairs the two animal harms with “the stomach burning that users describe”, a human-reported harm.
  2. 1.4 / 11.1 — Intended duration is not a time-to-effect aspect: The third [time] set (lines 526–536) carries “Intended duration” and cycling facts from the ER Discontinuation & Cycling section (ER lines 341, 347) rather than a time-to-effect aspect, while the ER’s third genuine time aspect — “Half-life: Never measured in humans for any constituent” (ER line 325) — is omitted.
  3. 11.4 — time_2 label duplicates the subhead: [time_2_label] (line 512) is “Time to effect”, identical to the grid subhead at line 492, so it names no aspect; [time_2_sub] (line 519) also attributes the 4–8 week window to “judging anxiety and mood alongside memory”, which ER line 367 does not.

Fixes 17/08/2026 13:33

  1. 1.1 / 7.3 — At-A-Glance harms clause corrected: Replaced “Harms are animal-only — halted sperm production, reversible liver damage —” with “Animal harms: halted sperm production, reversible liver damage; plus user-reported stomach burning,” so the human-reported harm in the ER Conclusion is no longer excluded; trimmed “climbing” and “and” elsewhere to hold the summary at 60 words.
  2. 1.4 / 11.1 — Third time set replaced with a time-to-effect aspect: Swapped the “Intended duration / Weeks to a few months” cell (from ER Discontinuation & Cycling) for “Half-life / Never measured in humans”, with a sub noting the 14–30 day delay implies gradual adaptation or accumulation rather than acute action (ER line 325).
  3. 11.4 — time_2 relabelled and sub made ER-faithful: Changed [time_2_label] from “Time to effect” (a duplicate of the grid subhead) to “Assessment window”, and reworded [time_2_sub] from “judging anxiety and mood alongside memory” to “judging any response” to match ER line 367.
