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.	🟢
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.	🟢
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”).	🟢
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.	🟢
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.	🟢
1.6	The QRS does not introduce new attributions.	🟢

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.	🟢
2.2	The tone of the QRS is simultaneously expert, accessible, objective, and data-driven, but also empowering and encouraging	🟢
2.3	The QRS reads as a trusted, knowledgeable guide rather than a prescriptive doctor	🟢
2.4	The QRS avoids language that implies medical or clinical advice	🟢
2.5	The QRS “presents information” instead of “providing guidance”, “recommending”, or “advising”	🟢
2.6	The QRS never addresses “the reader” directly — it presents evidence, not guidance	🟢
2.7	The QRS is written in plain language, avoiding unnecessary medical jargon	🟢
2.8	Information is presented in a concise and very compact manner	🟢
2.9	It DOES NOT address the reader directly	🟢
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.	🟢
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.	🟢
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.	🟢
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.	🟢
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.	🟢
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.	🟢

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”	🟢
3.2	All “…” from the [qrs_template] are present in the the QRS.	🟢
3.3	Spans that are not addressed in a checklist item are left unchanged	🟢

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; no empty-state phrasing required.
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.	🟢
4.3	Labels are not paraphrased, abbreviated, or invented.	🟢
4.4	The QRS DOES NOT use emoji indicators (no 🟩, 🟥, 🟨, etc.). Color and emphasis are conveyed through CSS and bold labels.	🟢
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.	🟢

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.	🟢
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.	🟢
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.	🟢

5.9	The nickname of the AI is just a single word model name without version, etc. (e.g., Opus, Sonnet, Grok, Gemini, ChatGPT)	🟢
5.10	The full name of the AI used to create the document is stated as “qrs_creator_ai_fullname: [qrs_creator_ai_fullname]”	🟢
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)	🟢

7. At-A-Glance Section

#	Description	Result	Comments
7.1	[at_a_glance] opens by saying what the intervention is — its kind (e.g., dietary supplement, prescription medication, peptide, plant, procedure, practice) — and what it is used for, in plain language, before any verdict on the evidence	🟢
7.2	[at_a_glance] is dense, execution-oriented summary of the ER Conclusion section	🟢
7.3	[at_a_glance] is no longer than 70 words	🟢

8.2	[stop_items] represent the Contraindications from the ER	🟢
8.3	Individual [stop_items] are formatted as <li></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.	🟢
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).	🟢
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 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.	🟢
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 (10 contraindications listed).

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 interaction list uses no ranking notation inside parentheses.
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.	🟢
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 (9 interactions listed).

Issues 22/09/2026 17:53

1. 7.1 — At-A-Glance omits what it is used for: The lede (QRS lines 433-437) names the kind (“an unapproved oral medication”) and the mechanism, but never states what the compound is used for; the ER’s “marketed to people building muscle or hoping to slow physical decline” (ER line 39) has no counterpart, so a reader arriving cold learns what it does but not why anyone takes it.

Fixes 22/09/2026 17:53

1. 7.1 — At-A-Glance states the use: Rewrote the lede opener to name what the compound is sold for, from “an unapproved oral medication that prompts the body to release more of its own growth hormone” to “an unapproved oral medication, sold to build muscle and slow physical decline, that prompts the body to release more of its own growth hormone”, condensing the following clauses so the section stays within the 70-word limit.

Issues 22/09/2026 17:47

1. 1.1 / 1.3 — Young-adult claim over-extended: [at_a_glance] (line 434) states “It raises that hormone and the growth factor it controls to young-adult levels for years”, applying the young-adult range to growth hormone as well as to IGF-1; the ER restricts that claim to IGF-1 alone (ER lines 137, 464).

Fixes 22/09/2026 17:47

1. 1.1 / 1.3 — Young-adult claim over-extended: Rewrote the [at_a_glance] clause from “It raises that hormone and the growth factor it controls to young-adult levels for years” to “It raises that hormone, and for years holds the growth factor it controls at young-adult levels”, restricting the young-adult range to IGF-1 as the ER does. The lede remains within the 70-word limit at 69 words.

Issues 22/09/2026 17:38

1. 4.5 — Sheet overruns one A4 page: The populated sheet renders to roughly two A4 pages against the template’s single-page print budget, with several spans carrying full ER sentences instead of condensed phrasings — action_1_sub (lines 455–458), action_3_sub (483–486), time_3_sub (530–533), monitoring_cadence (838–842) and the longest stop_items entries (lines 575–578, 583–589, 590).

Fixes 22/09/2026 17:38

1. 4.5 — Protocol sub-text condensed: Shortened action_1_sub, action_2_sub and action_3_sub to phrase-level summaries (e.g. “The dose used in every pivotal randomized controlled trial and the starting dose recommended in the principal narrative review.” → “Used in every pivotal randomized controlled trial, and the principal narrative review’s starting dose.”), dropping one rendered line from the Protocol row.
2. 4.5 — Time-to-effect sub-text condensed: Trimmed time_2_sub (“the lean-mass change required 12 months to reach its full extent” → “lean mass needed 12 months for its full extent”) and reordered plus shortened time_3_sub to lead with the early edema and aching, removing one rendered line from the Time-to-effect row.
3. 4.5 — Contraindication items tightened: Condensed three of the longest stop_items — “Active malignancy, or any cancer treated within the past 5 years” → “Active or prior malignancy within the past 5 years”, the athlete/military entry to a semicolon form, and “open epiphyses (growth plates not yet fused)” → “open growth plates” — cutting two lines from the Contraindications gate while keeping every qualifier.
4. 4.5 — Monitoring cadence condensed: Merged the duplicated 3–6 month intervals in monitoring_cadence into a single clause, reducing it from 235 to 197 characters without dropping any interval.

Issues 22/09/2026 17:30

1. 11.4 — Tautological time-to-effect sub: [time_3_sub] at line 531 restates its own label and value (“Appetite and fluid” + “First 2 weeks”) as “Appetite and fluid changes appear in the first two weeks”, contributing no information, while ER lines 219 and 225 offer substantive material on attenuation and on early adverse effects dominating the first months.

Fixes 22/09/2026 17:30

1. 11.4 — Tautological time-to-effect sub: Replaced [time_3_sub] “Appetite and fluid changes appear in the first two weeks.” with “Appetite typically attenuates over some months but not in everyone; edema and aching dominate the first months of exposure.”, drawn from ER lines 219 and 225, so the cell adds information beyond its own label and value.
