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 content (at-a-glance, protocol, benefits, risks, monitoring, gates) traces to the ER Conclusion, Protocol, Expected Benefits, Potential Risks, Key Interactions, and Monitoring sections.
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.	🟢	Speculative-tier items and cautious framing preserved; no cautious ER phrasing over-hardened.
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”).	🟢	No strengthening/softening detected; contraindication thresholds and relative-defer language preserved.
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.	🟢	Contraindications, interactions, benefits, risks, and monitoring content are drawn from their matching ER sections.
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 citations, expert names, NCT IDs, or brand names appear in the QRS.
1.6	The QRS does not introduce new attributions.	🟢	No attributions 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.	🟢	Objective, evidence-led tone matching the ER.
2.2	The tone of the QRS is simultaneously expert, accessible, objective, and data-driven, but also empowering and encouraging	🟢	Content is expert and data-driven while remaining accessible.
2.3	The QRS reads as a trusted, knowledgeable guide rather than a prescriptive doctor	🟢	Presents evidence rather than prescribing.
2.4	The QRS avoids language that implies medical or clinical advice	🟢	Content framed as evidence/information, not directives.
2.5	The QRS “presents information” instead of “providing guidance”, “recommending”, or “advising”	🟢	Presents distilled ER findings.
2.6	The QRS never addresses “the reader” directly — it presents evidence, not guidance	🟢	No second-person address anywhere.
2.7	The QRS is written in plain language, avoiding unnecessary medical jargon	🟢	Jargon limited to standard biomarker names; at-a-glance uses plain terms.
2.8	Information is presented in a concise and very compact manner	🟢	All sections condensed to compact facts.
2.9	It DOES NOT address the reader directly	🟢	No direct reader 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.	🟢	Framing targets proactive, test-first longevity 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.	🟢	Testing-first and monitoring framing assumes an engaged audience.
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 pitched to the general population.
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.	🟢	Emphasis on testing before use and overload risk reflects the longevity 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.	🟢	Uses “longevity” and “faster aging”; no “anti-aging” usage.
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.	🟢	No colloquial/consumer-grade substitutes (“pills”, “shot”, etc.).

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 labels/headings present and unmodified.
