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 QRS content traces to the ER (Protocol, Benefits, Risks, Interactions, Monitoring, 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.	🟢	QRS preserves ER caution (“No human hair studies exist”, “unproven”, “Speculative” tiers).
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 and speculative framing preserved at ER strength.
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 derive from ER “Key Interactions & Contraindications”; Benefits/Risks from their own 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.	🟢	QRS contains no PMIDs, citations, expert names, NCT IDs, or brand names.
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.	🟢	Matches the ER’s measured, evidence-forward tone.
2.2	The tone of the QRS is simultaneously expert, accessible, objective, and data-driven, but also empowering and encouraging	🟢	Tone is expert yet accessible throughout.
2.3	The QRS reads as a trusted, knowledgeable guide rather than a prescriptive doctor	🟢	Presents evidence, not prescriptions.
2.4	The QRS avoids language that implies medical or clinical advice	🟢	No directive medical advice.
2.5	The QRS “presents information” instead of “providing guidance”, “recommending”, or “advising”	🟢	Information is presented, not recommended.
2.6	The QRS never addresses “the reader” directly — it presents evidence, not guidance	🟢	No direct second-person address.
2.7	The QRS is written in plain language, avoiding unnecessary medical jargon	🟢	Plain-language phrasing used throughout.
2.8	Information is presented in a concise and very compact manner	🟢	Content is compact and fits one page.
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 suits longevity-oriented adults.
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.	🟢	Protocol/monitoring content 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.	🟢	Weighting reflects the target 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”; no “anti-aging” in the QRS voice.
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.	🟢	Terminology mirrors the ER; “stomach/digestive upset” mirrors ER wording.

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.
3.2	All “…” from the [qrs_template] are present in the the QRS.	🟢	All expected data-qrs-var spans present.
3.3	Spans that are not addressed in a checklist item are left unchanged	🟢	Non-addressed spans left unchanged.

4. Formatting

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.	🟢	Row/cell labels (markers, gate items) are faithful; protocol cells use the standard action framework.
4.3	Labels are not paraphrased, abbreviated, or invented.	🟢	Marker names and tier labels not paraphrased or invented.
4.4	The QRS DOES NOT use emoji indicators (no 🟩, 🟥, 🟨, etc.). Color and emphasis are conveyed through CSS and bold labels.	🟢	No emoji indicators in the QRS body.
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.	🟢	Content condensed to a single-page budget.
