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.	🟢	All 30 populated variables trace to ER passages: protocol cells to ER lines 328/330/342, time cells to ER 389/369/171/185, benefits to ER 155–201, risks to ER 225–261, gates to ER 281–306, monitoring to ER 419–438.
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.	🟢	“not independently replicated” (line 514) mirrors ER 171; “small and inconsistent” (line 436) mirrors ER 460; “unestablished safety in pregnancy and lactation” (line 605) mirrors the ER heading at 239.
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”).	🟢	Pregnancy/lactation stays in the Contraindications gate (line 571) as in the ER’s “Populations who should avoid” list; interaction-only entries stay in Key Interactions.
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.	🟢	Gates draw only from `Key Interactions & Contraindications`; Benefits from `Expected Benefits`; Risks from `Potential Risks & Side Effects`; Monitoring and Qualitative from `Monitoring Protocol & Defining Success`. No modifying-factor content 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, NCT identifiers, author names, or brand names anywhere in the QRS.
1.6	The QRS does not introduce new attributions.	🟢	No attributions of any kind are 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.	🟢	Neutral, hedged, evidence-first register matching the ER throughout.
2.2	The tone of the QRS is simultaneously expert, accessible, objective, and data-driven, but also empowering and encouraging	🟢	Concrete doses and biomarker ranges are paired with plain-language framing.
2.3	The QRS reads as a trusted, knowledgeable guide rather than a prescriptive doctor	🟢	Content is stated descriptively (“Same preparation, up to 10 days during an active infection”), not as instruction.
2.4	The QRS avoids language that implies medical or clinical advice	🟢	No imperative or prescriptive constructions found.
2.5	The QRS “presents information” instead of “providing guidance”, “recommending”, or “advising”	🟢	No occurrences of “should”, “must”, “recommend”, or “advise” in the document body.
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 retained only where they are the decision gate itself (CYP3A4/CYP1A2 substrate classes), as in the ER.
2.8	Information is presented in a concise and very compact manner	🟢	Every gate, benefit, risk, marker, and qualitative entry is a single condensed line.
2.9	It DOES NOT address the reader directly	🟢	Confirmed — no direct address.
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.	🟢	Seasonal preventive dosing, product-quality caveats, and biomarker context all assume a proactive optimizer.
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.	🟢	Three-times-daily season-long dosing and a six-marker baseline panel are presented without hedging on effort.
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 simplified “just take a supplement” framing.
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.	🟢	Antibiotic-avoidance and complication endpoints are surfaced in both At-A-Glance and Benefits High, matching the ER’s audience-specific emphasis at line 163.
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 occur; the title uses “Longevity” and the speculative benefit reads “aging mice”.
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 register kept (“gastrointestinal upset”, “anaphylaxis”, “alanine aminotransferase”, “tincture”).

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”	🟢	Byte-level diff against [qrs_template] shows zero changes outside the `data-qrs-var` spans and the frontmatter.
3.2	All “…” from the [qrs_template] are present in the the QRS.	🟢	All 34 template span names present; the only extras are the template’s repeatable `marker_#_*` and `qualitative_item_#` rows expanded to 6 and 7 instances.
3.3	Spans that are not addressed in a checklist item are left unchanged	🟢	`<span website="evidence_review">`, `<span website="audit">`, and `<span website="full_review">` are byte-identical to the template.

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 ER section feeding the QRS is empty — all four benefit tiers, all four risk tiers, both gate lists, the protocol, and the monitoring section carry content.
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.	🟢	All three protocol labels are the ER’s bold labels verbatim: “Prevention, standardized fresh-plant extract” (ER 328), “Acute escalation” (ER 330), “Half-life and dosing frequency” (ER 342).
4.3	Labels are not paraphrased, abbreviated, or invented.	🟢	No protocol or gate label is reworded; monitoring row labels follow the ER biomarker column.
4.4	The QRS DOES NOT use emoji indicators (no 🟩, 🟥, 🟨, etc.). Color and emphasis are conveyed through CSS and bold labels.	🟢	No emoji code points in the file; the ER’s 🟩/🟥/🟨/⚠️ markers were correctly dropped in favour of the CSS tier styling.
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 single-line entries; parentheticals in the gates are trimmed to two examples each and marker “why” cells to short phrases, rather than carrying ER-length prose.

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, immediately after `<!doctype html>` on line 1 and before the template comment on 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.
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 entirely in an HTML comment; no metadata value is repeated in the header or footer.
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.	🟢	Only `duration: "00:02"` is quoted, correctly so because the value contains a colon.
5.5	The filename of the source ER is stated as “er_filename: [er_filename]”	🟢	`er_filename: echinacea_2026-0909-0009_Opus_ER.md` (line 4), matching 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]”	🟢	`qrs_prompt_version: 26.7.02` (line 5), matching the QRS.md version badge.
5.7	Creation date and time of the document is stated as “qrs_creation_date: [YYYY-MMDD-HHMM]” (e.g., 2026-0501-1430)	🟢	`qrs_creation_date: 2026-0909-0217` (line 6) in the required format.
5.8	The nickname of the AI used to create the document is stated as “qrs_creator_ai_nickname: [qrs_creator_ai_nickname]”	🟢	`qrs_creator_ai_nickname: Opus` (line 7).
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” — single word, no version or qualifier.
5.10	The full name of the AI used to create the document is stated as “qrs_creator_ai_fullname: [qrs_creator_ai_fullname]”	🟢	`qrs_creator_ai_fullname: Opus 5` (line 8).
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” — nickname plus version only, no qualifier.
5.12	The filename of the document is stated as “qrs_filename: [filename of this document]”	🟢	`qrs_filename: echinacea_2026-0909-0009_Opus_QRS.html` (line 9), matching the file 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: all nine keys are single-space-delimited with no stray whitespace or superfluous quoting.

#	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., `&` for `&`)	🟢	Line 22: “Echinacea for Health & Longevity - Quick Reference Sheet”, with the ampersand entity-encoded.
6.2	[header_topic] is set to the [canonical_topic] of the ER `frontmatter`, with HTML entities encoded as needed (e.g., `&` for `&`)	🟢	Line 417: “Echinacea for Health & Longevity”, matching ER frontmatter `canonical_topic`.
6.3	[header_subline_date] is set to [qrs_creation_date reformatted as MM/DD/YYYY]	🟢	Line 421: “09/09/2026”, the correct MM/DD/YYYY rendering of 2026-0909-0217.
6.4	[header_subline_model] is set to [qrs_creator_ai_fullname]	🟢	Line 425: “Opus 5”, matching the frontmatter `qrs_creator_ai_fullname`.
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 contains only the title and the template’s fixed subline; the ER’s “Also known as” list is 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	🟢	Lines 434–437 compress the ER Conclusion’s three paragraphs into the preventive-vs-acute distinction plus the two structural caveats.
7.2	[at_a_glance] is no longer than 60 words	🟢	48 words.
7.3	Every fact in [at_a_glance] is supported by a distinct passage in the ER.	🟢	Prevention signal → ER 460; acute duration → ER 460; species/plant-part/extraction variability → ER 39 and 462; maker ties → ER 462.
7.4	It DOES NOT use acronyms or technical classifications that require specialist knowledge, uses plain-language terms instead	🟢	No acronyms; “respiratory infections”, “antibiotic use”, “plant part”, and “maker ties” are all everyday phrasing.
7.5	It DOES NOT cite specific trials (names, years, sample sizes, p-values)	🟢	No trial names, years, cohort sizes, or p-values appear.
7.6	It DOES NOT cite effect sizes, relative risks, or statistical results	🟢	The ER’s RR 0.78 / RR 0.75 and the 40%/56% figures are all omitted.

8. Contraindications

#	Description	Result	Comments
8.1	The section is derived from the ER `Key Interactions & Contraindications` section	🟢	All six items map to the “Populations who should avoid Echinacea” list at ER 299–306.
8.2	[stop_items] represent the Contraindications from the ER	🟢	All six ER avoid-populations are present, none invented.
8.3	Individual [stop_items] are formatted as <li></li>	🟢	Lines 568–573, six `<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.	🟢	ER trailing rationales are stripped: “on absence of controlled data rather than on evidence of harm” and “in whom rash risk is documented and no dosing is established” do not appear. No dash-trailing clauses.
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).	🟢	“(ragweed, chamomile)” retained from the ER’s four-plant list; “Poorly controlled”, “on immunosuppression”, “on systemic immunomodulators”, and “under 2 years” all preserved.
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’s contraindication list uses no ranking notation inside parentheses.
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 does identify such populations, and the section is correspondingly populated.
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 eight items map to the ER bullets at 281–295.
9.2	[caution_items] represent the Key Interactions from the ER, excluding any that are already listed as Contraindications	🟢	Eight of the ER’s nine interaction bullets are carried; the ninth (“Non-pharmacological interventions”) states that no interaction exists and is correctly not surfaced as a caution.
9.3	Individual [caution_items] are formatted as <li></li>	🟢	Lines 581–588, eight `<li>` elements inside the span.
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.	🟢	The ER’s “Caution, not contraindication”, “Monitor”, and mechanism sentences are all stripped; no dash-trailing clauses remain.
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).	🟢	Every ER bullet that carried a drug list retains a trimmed version of it: (midazolam, ciclosporin), (caffeine, theophylline), (darunavir/ritonavir, etravirine), (ciclosporin), (caffeine, aspirin), (elderberry, zinc), (chamomile, feverfew).
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’s interaction bullets use plain comma-separated drug lists, no ranking symbols.
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 identifies multiple interactions, and the section is correspondingly populated.
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 map to bullets in the ER `Therapeutic Protocol` section (lines 328, 330, 342).
10.2	The three sets of [action] items cover the three most important actionable implementation aspects from the ER `Protocol` section	🟢	The most-studied preventive regimen, the acute escalation, and the dosing-frequency constraint are the three bullets that actually determine how the intervention is taken.
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 Protocol section contains fourteen bullets, well above three.
10.4	All used [action_#label], [action#value], [action#_sub] items are filled with meaningful content derived from the ER `Protocol` section.	🟢	All nine cells carry ER-derived content; no placeholder text remains.

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	🟢	Seasonal prevention (ER 389), acute antiviral onset (ER 389), and the seven-day anxiety endpoint (ER 185).
11.2	The sets are picked and ordered by the magnitude of the related benefit	🟢	Order follows the ER benefit tiers: High (fewer infections) → Medium (viral clearance) → Low (anxiety).
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 at least three distinct time-to-effect aspects.
11.4	All used [time_#label], [time#value], [time#_sub] items are filled with meaningful content derived from the ER.	🟢	All nine cells carry ER-derived content; no placeholder text remains.
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 provides a dedicated “Time to effect” bullet at line 389, so the section is correctly retained.

12. Benefits

#	Description	Result	Comments
12.1	The section is derived from the ER `Expected Benefits` section	🟢	All four tiers map to the ER headings at lines 155–201.
12.2	Key variables are [benefits_high], [benefits_medium], [benefits_low], [benefits_speculative]	🟢	All four spans present and populated (lines 538–558).
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.	🟢	Each tier is a condensed clause list; none of the ER’s Magnitude: lines, funding notes, or Cochrane discussion appear.
12.4	Parenthetical content — including effect sizes, sample notes, mechanistic hints, and example studies — is stripped, NOT preserved.	🟢	The ER’s parentheticals — “(RR, the ratio of event rates between groups)”, “(95% CI 0.69–0.81)”, “(immune cells that kill tumour cells)”, “(the virus causing COVID-19)” — are all absent.
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.	N/A	All four ER benefit tiers contain items, so no span needed hiding.

13. Risks

#	Description	Result	Comments
13.1	The section is derived from the ER `Potential Risks & Side Effects` section	🟢	All four tiers map to the ER headings at lines 225–261.
13.2	Key variables are [risks_high], [risks_medium], [risks_low], [risks_speculative]	🟢	All four spans present and populated (lines 600–617).
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.	🟢	The ER’s “with Continuous High-Dose Use” qualifier and all Magnitude: detail are dropped; each tier is a single condensed clause.
13.4	Parenthetical content — including frequencies, severity grades, sample notes, mechanistic hints, and example studies — is stripped, NOT preserved.	🟢	The ER’s “(p = 0.008, p being the probability…)”, “(RR 1.38, 95% CI 1.08–1.78)”, and cohort sizes are all absent.
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.	N/A	All four ER risk tiers contain items, so no span needed hiding.

14. Monitoring

#	Description	Result	Comments
14.1	The section is derived from the ER `Monitoring` section	🟢	The six rows mirror the ER biomarker table at lines 421–428.
14.2	All measurable/quantifiable biomarkers from the `Monitoring` section are listed	🟢	All six ER biomarkers present: Total IgE, serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D, high-sensitivity CRP, lymphocyte count, alanine aminotransferase, and drug level / INR. Targets match the ER’s functional ranges.
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.	🟢	Lines 717–719 reproduce the ER’s cadence sentence at line 419 (4 weeks, end of four-month cycle, drug levels at 2 and 6 weeks).

15. Qualitative Assessment

#	Description	Result	Comments
15.1	The section is derived from the ER `Monitoring` section	🟢	The seven entries map one-to-one to the ER’s “Qualitative markers to track” list at lines 432–438.
15.2	All subjective/qualitative biomarkers from the `Monitoring` section are listed	🟢	All seven ER qualitative markers present, none added or dropped.

Issues 09/09/2026 02:35

2.8 — Time-to-effect subs restate values: In the Time to effect row, time_1_sub (line 501, “Accrues across a season, not days”) merely restates time_1_value (line 497, “Across an infection season”), and time_2_sub (line 514, “Where present, within the first days”) merely restates time_2_value (line 510, “First days of dosing”), consuming one-page budget without adding information.

Fixes 09/09/2026 02:35

2.8 — Time-to-effect subs restate values: Replaced time_1_sub “Accrues across a season, not days” with “Effect builds with continued adherence rather than fading” (ER line 369) and time_2_sub “Where present, within the first days” with “On the escalated acute dose; not independently replicated” (ER lines 171, 330), so neither sub-line repeats its own value cell.

Issues 09/09/2026 02:26

4.5 / 2.8 — QRS overflows one A4 page: Measured against the print budget (A4 minus the 12 mm .sheet padding = 1032 px at 703 px content width), the sheet estimates to ≈1884 px, roughly 1.83 A4 pages; the Monitoring card (≈385 px), the decision gates (≈355 px, eight caution items carrying five-drug parentheticals) and the Protocol panel (≈310 px) are the largest overruns, and several cells reproduce full ER sentences — action_3_sub at line 483 is 27 words inside a one-third-width grid cell.

Fixes 09/09/2026 02:26

4.5 / 2.8 — Protocol panel condensed: action_1_sub cut from “Alcoholic extract of freshly harvested Echinacea purpurea (95% aerial parts, 5% root), split across three doses, continuously through the infection season” to “Fresh Echinacea purpurea extract, three doses daily through the season”; action_3_sub cut from 27 words to “Short half-life rules out once-daily dosing; tablets underdeliver vs tincture”; action_3_value shortened to “3–4 divided doses”.
4.5 / 2.8 — Time-to-effect subs compressed: All three subs reduced to single-line facts — “Accrues across a season, not days”, “Where present, within the first days”, and “Low-dose Echinacea angustifolia root extract” — dropping the restated ER sentences and the trial-count detail already encoded by the benefit tier.
4.5 / 2.8 — Decision-gate items trimmed: All six contraindications and all eight interactions retained, with parenthetical example lists trimmed to two representative agents each (e.g. CYP3A4 substrates from “midazolam, ciclosporin, tacrolimus, simvastatin, some antivirals” to “midazolam, ciclosporin”), cutting the taller gate column from 16 to 8 lines.
4.5 / 2.8 — Monitoring cells shortened: All six markers kept; the “Why” strings reduced to one line each (e.g. “Identifies the atopic phenotype carrying most of the allergic-reaction risk” → “Flags the atopic phenotype at highest risk”), marker_4_name shortened to “Lymphocyte count (differential)”, and the cadence sentence tightened.
4.5 / 2.8 — Benefits and risks tightened: benefits_high, benefits_speculative and risks_speculative compressed to single lines while keeping every ER-sourced fact, removing the wrapped second lines from both cards.
4.5 / 2.8 — At-a-glance shortened: Reduced from 54 to 48 words, dropping one rendered line while retaining all four Conclusion clauses.

Note on scope: the sheet was reduced from an estimated ≈1884 px to ≈1527 px against the 1032 px A4 print budget. The residual overflow comes from item counts the checklist forbids reducing — 8.2 (six contraindications), 9.2 (eight interactions), 14.2 (six biomarkers) and 15.2 (seven qualitative markers) all require every ER item to be carried — so condensation was applied to wording only, not to coverage.
