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: protocol values (ER Therapeutic Protocol), time-to-effect (ER Practical Considerations), benefit/risk tier items (ER headings), all 11 monitoring rows and the cadence (ER Monitoring Protocol & Defining Success), gates (ER Key Interactions & Contraindications), lede (ER Conclusion). |
| 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 time-of-day comparison has been published” (action_3_sub) and “No established target” (marker_11_target) carry the ER’s 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 scope qualifiers (“with magnesium-based tablets”, “specifically for tablet formulations”) are preserved; the lede keeps the ER’s “modest” framing. |
| 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; risks only from Potential Risks & Side Effects; benefits only from Expected Benefits. 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. | 🟢 | The QRS carries no PMIDs, NCT identifiers, author names or brand names at all. |
| 1.6 | The QRS does not introduce new attributions. | 🟢 | No attributions present beyond the template’s AI4L link. |
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. | 🟢 | Measured and sceptical throughout, matching the ER’s own register. |
| 2.2 | The tone of the QRS is simultaneously expert, accessible, objective, and data-driven, but also empowering and encouraging | 🟢 | Objective and data-anchored; the protocol, monitoring targets and qualitative markers give the reader a self-testable plan. |
| 2.3 | The QRS reads as a trusted, knowledgeable guide rather than a prescriptive doctor | 🟢 | Content is stated as what trials did and what markers show, not as instruction. |
| 2.4 | The QRS avoids language that implies medical or clinical advice | 🟢 | No imperatives or prescriptions; monitoring targets are presented as ranges carried from the ER. |
| 2.5 | The QRS “presents information” instead of “providing guidance”, “recommending”, or “advising” | 🟢 | Protocol subs are descriptive (“Trials have used…”, “split dosing dominates practice”). |
| 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 present are unavoidable marker and condition names taken from the ER. |
| 2.8 | Information is presented in a concise and very compact manner | 🟢 | Benefit and risk items are reduced to bare ER headings; gate items are stripped to the key fact. |
| 2.9 | It DOES NOT address the reader directly | 🟢 | Confirmed by full-text search for second-person forms. |
| 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. | 🟢 | Functional monitoring targets and a formulation-choice framing address exactly this reader. |
| 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. | 🟢 | Split dosing, pre-exercise timing and an 11-marker panel assume a reader willing to invest 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 general-population simplification; functional rather than conventional lab ranges are used. |
| 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. | 🟢 | The lede foregrounds the null results and the HDL signal; opportunity cost is carried as an explicit risk item. |
| 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. | 🟢 | The string “anti-aging” does not occur; the header 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)”; “oral” / “administered orally” not “taken by mouth” / “given by mouth”; “injection” not “shot”; “adverse event” not “bad reaction”). This holds on EVERY surface, including the QRS lede — the stricter plain-language bar (see 2.7) does not license lay phrasing for route of administration. Direct quotes from sources are exempt. | 🟢 | Formulations are named formally (“tablet”, “electrolysis device”); no consumer-grade route or event vocabulary appears. |
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 strings match the template byte-for-byte. |
| 3.2 | All “…” from the [qrs_template] are present in the the QRS. | 🟢 | All 34 template variable names are present; the only additions are the legitimate expansions of marker_#_* (11 rows) and qualitative_item_# (6 items). |
| 3.3 | Spans that are not addressed in a checklist item are left unchanged | 🟢 | The three website= spans (evidence_review, audit, full_review) are untouched, and lines 15–410 are identical to the template apart from page_title. |
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. |
| 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. | 🟢 | “Standard daily dose”, “Single versus split dosing” and “Timing” are the ER’s bold protocol labels verbatim; marker names match the ER Biomarker column verbatim. |
| 4.3 | Labels are not paraphrased, abbreviated, or invented. | 🟢 | The time-to-effect labels condense the ER’s single “Time to effect” bullet, which has no per-aspect ER label to carry; all other labels are verbatim. |
| 4.4 | The QRS DOES NOT use emoji indicators (no 🟩, 🟥, 🟨, etc.). Color and emphasis are conveyed through CSS and bold labels. | 🟢 | No emoji in the file; the ER’s “⚠️ Conflicted” markers were 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. | 🟢 | Every optional section is condensed to headline facts; the remaining bulk is the mandated full biomarker and qualitative-marker sets required by 14.2 and 15.2. |
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. |
| 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 descriptive text precedes the opener. |

7. At-A-Glance Section
| # | Description | Result | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|
| 7.1 | [at_a_glance] is dense, execution-oriented summary of the ER Conclusion section |
🟢 | Condenses all three Conclusion paragraphs: what it is, what moves, what does not, the HDL counter-signal, safety and data thinness. |
| 7.2 | [at_a_glance] is no longer than 60 words | 🟢 | 54 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 sentence (ER lines 513, 515, 517). |
| 7.4 | It DOES NOT use acronyms or technical classifications that require specialist knowledge, uses plain-language terms instead | 🟢 | No acronyms; “protective cholesterol” and “blood-sugar handling” stand in for HDL-C and insulin/glycaemic endpoints. |
| 7.5 | It DOES NOT cite specific trials (names, years, sample sizes, p-values) | 🟢 | No trial names, years, sample sizes or p-values. |
| 7.6 | It DOES NOT cite effect sizes, relative risks, or statistical results | 🟢 | Direction only (“falls slightly”, “dipping”); no numbers. |
8. Contraindications
| # | Description | Result | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|
| 8.1 | The section is derived from the ER Key Interactions & Contraindications section |
🟢 | All three items come from that section’s “Populations who should avoid Hydrogen Water” list (ER lines 355–359). |
| 8.2 | [stop_items] represent the Contraindications from the ER | 🟢 | All three ER avoid-populations are present, none added. |
| 8.3 | Individual [stop_items] are formatted as <li></li> | 🟢 | Three <li> elements inside the span (lines 542–551). |
| 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. | 🟢 | “because magnesium clearance is inadequate”, “in which added magnesium can worsen neuromuscular weakness”, the myasthenia gravis gloss and the pregnancy rationale are all stripped; no dashes 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). | 🟢 | The eGFR threshold and CKD stage 4/5 parenthetical is carried intact, as is the tablet-formulation scope on both magnesium items. |
| 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 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 three avoid-populations and the section is correctly populated, not 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’s seven interaction bullets (ER lines 341–353). |
| 9.2 | [caution_items] represent the Key Interactions from the ER, excluding any that are already listed as Contraindications | 🟢 | Seven of seven present; no overlap with the three contraindications. |
| 9.3 | Individual [caution_items] are formatted as <li></li> | 🟢 | Seven <li> elements inside the span (lines 559–574). |
| 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. | 🟢 | Caution/Monitor labels, mechanisms and all “Mitigation:” clauses are stripped; the ER’s “Other interventions —” dash lead-in is removed for the sauna/cold/fasting item. |
| 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 named example drug survives, including the vitamin C “above 1 g daily” threshold; the bisphosphonate parenthetical is trimmed to the drug names only. |
| 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 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 names seven interactions and the section is correctly populated, not empty. |
| 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 derive from the ER Therapeutic Protocol bullets (ER lines 383, 391, 395). |
| 10.2 | The three sets of [action] items cover the three most important actionable implementation aspects from the ER Protocol section |
🟢 | Dose, dosing frequency and timing — the three bullets that determine how the intervention is actually taken; the remaining bullets are background or non-actionable (half-life, sex, polymorphisms). |
| 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 well over three actionable aspects and 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 spans populated; values (“500 mL – 1 L daily”, “2–3 servings daily”, “30–60 min pre-exercise”) and subs all trace to ER text. |
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 | 🟢 | The ER’s Practical Considerations “Time to effect” bullet contains exactly three clauses; all three are carried. |
| 11.2 | The sets are picked and ordered by the magnitude of the related benefit | 🟢 | Cell 1 and cell 2 map to High-tier benefits (perceived exertion/lactate; blood lipid profile), cell 3 to Medium and Speculative benefits (functional capacity in over-70s; molecular aging markers). |
| 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 time-to-effect aspects and 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 spans populated; the values (“Single serving”, “4–24 weeks”, “6 months”) match the ER’s stated windows. |
| 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 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 |
🟢 | Every item is an ER Expected Benefits sub-heading, in ER order. |
| 12.2 | Key variables are [benefits_high], [benefits_medium], [benefits_low], [benefits_speculative] | 🟢 | All four spans present and populated at the correct tiers: 4 High, 7 Medium, 3 Low, 2 Speculative, matching the ER exactly. |
| 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. | 🟢 | Headings only, semicolon-separated; all Magnitude figures, conflict-of-interest notes and mechanistic prose left behind. |
| 12.4 | Parenthetical content — including effect sizes, sample notes, mechanistic hints, and example studies — is stripped, NOT preserved. | 🟢 | No parentheses remain in any benefit item. |
| 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 tiers carry items in the ER. |
