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 traced to the ER: protocol lines 386/388/394, time-to-effect line 441, benefit and risk headings, contraindication list lines 339-364, monitoring table lines 471-489, conclusion lines 513-517.
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. 🟢 Cautious ER phrasing preserved, e.g. time_3_sub “Needed more than four weeks to separate from placebo” mirrors ER line 441.
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 or softening; “Excess mortality in severe acute pancreatitis” and “Delayed gut recovery after antibiotics” keep the ER’s direction and force.
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. 🟢 Absolute-contraindication interactions (immunosuppressants, cytotoxic chemotherapy) correctly sit under Contraindications, matching the ER’s own labelling at lines 341-343; no modifying factor is surfaced as a gate.
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. 🟢 Only the strain designations DDS-1, NCFM and CL1285 appear, all present in the ER Protocol section for the same facts; no PMIDs, NCT IDs, author names or brand names.
1.6 The QRS does not introduce new attributions. 🟢 No new attributions; the ER’s “Leading practitioners choose by documented strain” is rendered without the attribution.

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 sober, hedged register.
2.2 The tone of the QRS is simultaneously expert, accessible, objective, and data-driven, but also empowering and encouraging 🟢 Expert, objective and data-driven while remaining accessible and actionable.
2.3 The QRS reads as a trusted, knowledgeable guide rather than a prescriptive doctor 🟢 Presents options and evidence rather than issuing instructions.
2.4 The QRS avoids language that implies medical or clinical advice 🟢 No clinical directives; the footer disclaimer is the template’s own.
2.5 The QRS “presents information” instead of “providing guidance”, “recommending”, or “advising” 🟢 Content is framed as what was used or measured, not as recommendations.
2.6 The QRS never addresses “the reader” directly — it presents evidence, not guidance 🟢 No second-person address anywhere in the file.
2.7 The QRS is written in plain language, avoiding unnecessary medical jargon 🟢 Plain-language throughout; technical terms are expanded (“low-density-lipoprotein cholesterol”).
2.8 Information is presented in a concise and very compact manner 🟢 Compact phrasing throughout; single-page budget respected.
2.9 It DOES NOT address the reader directly 🟢 No direct reader address; no imperatives directed at the reader.
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. 🟢 Content assumes a proactive, risk-aware reader (strain-level selection, biomarker panel, breath testing).
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 assumes willingness to select by strain, dose daily and track eight biomarkers.
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 at the general population; assumes effortful protocol adherence.
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 audience: paediatric-only benefits are flagged as such, and infection risk is tied to catheters/immunosuppression rather than generalised.
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 term “anti-aging” does not appear; ageing is framed neutrally (“maintenance of the ageing gut barrier”).
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 maintained; “brain fogginess” is the ER’s own heading term drawn from the cited source (ER line 293).

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 headings verified: Protocol, Time to effect, Benefits, Risk & Side Effects, Monitoring, Qualitative Assessment, Contraindications, Key Interactions, High/Medium/Low/Speculative, Marker/Target/Why.
3.2 All “…” from the [qrs_template] are present in the the QRS. 🟢 All 34 template variables present; marker_#* and qualitative_item# correctly expanded to marker_1..8 and qualitative_item_1..6.
3.3 Spans that are not addressed in a checklist item are left unchanged 🟢 Head, CSS block and the website=”evidence_review”/”audit”/”full_review” spans 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 source ER section is empty; the ER’s High-risk tier carries an explanatory sentence handled under 13.5, not empty-state phrasing.
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. 🟢 ER bold labels used verbatim: “Standard maintenance dose”, “Strain-first selection”, “Best time of day”, “Systemic antibiotics”, “Proton pump inhibitors and antacids”, “Antimicrobial botanicals”, “Prebiotic supplements”, “Cholesterol-lowering supplements”, “Other live-microbe products and faecal microbiota transplantation”, “Immunosuppressants”, “Cytotoxic chemotherapy causing neutropenia”.
4.3 Labels are not paraphrased, abbreviated, or invented. 🟢 No bold ER label is 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 anywhere in the file; tiers are conveyed by bold labels and CSS.
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 the per-section budget; no section overruns onto a second page.

5. Metadata

Just the key fact. 🟢 Each item is a bare fact; no mechanistic rationale, attribution or trailing dash clause.
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). 🟢 Thresholds retained: “below 500 cells/µL”, “CD4 below 200 cells/µL”, “below 1,500 g”; drug parentheticals trimmed but not dropped.
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 inside parentheses 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. 🟢 Section is correctly non-empty; the ER names eight avoid-populations and two absolute contraindications.
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 Section is not empty, so no explanatory HTML comment is required.

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. 🟢 Each item is label, example drugs and the ER’s action word; no mechanism or rationale carried through.
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). 🟢 Example drug lists preserved in shortened form for every item, e.g. “(amoxicillin, ciprofloxacin)”, “(inulin, lactitol)”.
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 inside parentheses 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. 🟢 Section is correctly non-empty; the ER names eight interactions.
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 Section is not empty, so no explanatory HTML comment is required.

Pass rate 100.00%. No issues found.

Issues 05/09/2026 05:28

  1. 8.5 — “long-term” qualifier dropped: QRS line 542 states “Central venous catheter or parenteral nutrition”, dropping the ER’s duration qualifier from “on long-term parenteral nutrition” (ER line 357) and thereby widening the contraindication to any parenteral-nutrition exposure.

Fixes 05/09/2026 05:28

  1. 8.5 — “long-term” qualifier restored: Changed the first contraindication from “Central venous catheter or parenteral nutrition” to “Central venous catheter or long-term parenteral nutrition”, restoring the ER’s duration qualifier (ER line 357).

Issues 05/09/2026 05:21

  1. 4.3 — Contraindication label abbreviated: The ER bold label “Cytotoxic chemotherapy causing neutropenia (cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, docetaxel):” (ER line 343) is rendered at QRS line 551 as “Cytotoxic chemotherapy while neutropenic”, abbreviating the label and dropping the parenthetical drug list entirely.

Fixes 05/09/2026 05:21

  1. 4.3 — Contraindication label restored verbatim: The chemotherapy contraindication at QRS line 551 was changed from “Cytotoxic chemotherapy while neutropenic” to “Cytotoxic chemotherapy causing neutropenia (cyclophosphamide, docetaxel)”, restoring the ER’s bold label verbatim and reinstating a trimmed parenthetical drug list.

Issues 05/09/2026 05:15

  1. 1.1 — Unqualified “largest positive trial”: action_1_sub (line 450) says “the largest positive trial used 10 billion of DDS-1”, dropping the ER’s “irritable bowel syndrome” qualifier (ER line 386) and creating a superlative the ER itself contradicts with its larger 503-patient antibiotic-diarrhoea trial.
  2. 1.3 — Transplant avoidance softened: The last caution_items entry (line 564) reduces the ER’s “Caution, escalating to avoidance around a planned transplant” (ER line 353) to “caution near transplant”, weakening the avoidance instruction and misplacing where it applies.
  3. 4.2 / 4.3 — Interaction label abbreviated: The same entry bolds “Other live-microbe products and faecal transplantation” instead of the ER’s verbatim bold label “Other live-microbe products and faecal microbiota transplantation” (ER line 353).

Fixes 05/09/2026 05:15

  1. 1.1 — Restored trial-scope qualifier: action_1_sub changed from “the largest positive trial used 10 billion of DDS-1” to “the largest positive irritable bowel trial used 10 billion of DDS-1”, matching the ER’s scoped claim.
  2. 1.3 — Transplant avoidance restored: The final Key Interactions item now reads “caution; avoid near a planned transplant” instead of “caution near transplant”, reinstating the ER’s escalation to avoidance.
  3. 4.2 / 4.3 — Verbatim interaction label: The bold label was expanded from “Other live-microbe products and faecal transplantation” to the ER’s verbatim “Other live-microbe products and faecal microbiota transplantation”.

Issues 05/09/2026 05:07

  1. 4.5 — QRS overruns one A4 page: Estimated rendered height is roughly twice the A4 print box (703 px content width, 1033 px usable height); the Contraindications gate (lines 542–551, ~21 wrapped lines) and the Monitoring table (lines 601–688) each consume ~450 px, leaving no room for Benefits, Risks and Qualitative Assessment on page one.

Fixes 05/09/2026 05:07

  1. 4.5 — Contraindication items condensed: All ten stop_items were shortened to single-line form (e.g. “Indwelling central venous catheter or long-term parenteral nutrition” → “Central venous catheter or parenteral nutrition”), cutting the gate from ~21 wrapped lines to ~11 while keeping every item and its threshold qualifier.
  2. 4.5 — Key Interaction parentheticals trimmed: Example-drug lists were reduced to one or two agents each (e.g. “(omeprazole, famotidine, calcium carbonate)” → “(omeprazole)”) and the FMT item shortened to “caution near transplant”, with the ER’s bold labels left verbatim.
  3. 4.5 — Monitoring cells shortened: Eight target/why cells were condensed to one line each (e.g. “The validated scale on which the strongest benefit was measured” → “The scale the strongest benefit used”), marker_7_name to “Breath hydrogen/methane”, marker_8_name to “IBS symptom severity”, and the cadence to numeric intervals.
  4. 4.5 — Protocol sub-cells condensed: The three action_#_sub cells were trimmed by one to two wrapped lines each, e.g. the strain-selection cell from a 136-character sentence to “DDS-1 for irritable bowel; NCFM for antibiotic cover; CL1285 for hospital use.”
  5. 4.5 — Risk tier items reduced to key facts: Residual qualifiers were stripped per the tiered-descriptor rule, e.g. “Excess mortality in critical illness with predicted severe acute pancreatitis; bloodstream infection and infective endocarditis in vulnerable hosts” → “Excess mortality in severe acute pancreatitis; bloodstream infection and endocarditis”, taking the card from seven wrapped lines to four.

Estimated rendered height fell from ~2085 px to ~1710 px against a 1033 px A4 print box. Further reduction would require dropping contraindications, interactions, biomarkers or qualitative markers, which items 8.2, 9.2, 14.2 and 15.2 require to be listed in full.

Issues 05/09/2026 05:01

  1. 4.2 / 4.3 — Interaction label abbreviated: The final caution_items entry at line 564 reads “Other live-microbe products and faecal transplantation”, abbreviating the ER’s bold label “Other live-microbe products and faecal microbiota transplantation” (ER line 353).

Fixes 05/09/2026 05:01

  1. 4.2 / 4.3 — Interaction label restored verbatim: The final caution_items entry now reads “Other live-microbe products and faecal microbiota transplantation”, matching the ER bold label instead of the abbreviated “faecal transplantation”.

Issues 05/09/2026 04:54

  1. 4.5 — Sheet exceeds one A4 page: The combined content of the gates, benefits, risks, monitoring and qualitative blocks runs roughly double the available A4 print height; the contraindications column alone (lines 542–551) wraps to about 21 lines, and several gate items, protocol subs and tier strings carry avoidable length.

Fixes 05/09/2026 04:54

  1. 4.5 — Protocol and time-to-effect subs trimmed: Removed the second ER bullet merged into action_1_sub (split-dosing sentence), and shortened action_2_sub, action_3_sub, time_1_sub, time_2_sub and time_3_sub to their load-bearing clause.
  2. 4.5 — Contraindication items condensed: Shortened all ten gate items where item 8.5 permits trimming — e.g. “Critically ill intensive-care patients” to “Critically ill patients”, “absolute neutrophil count” to “neutrophil count” — and trimmed the immunosuppressant and chemotherapy drug lists to two exemplars each without dropping any item.
  3. 4.5 — Key interaction items condensed: Trimmed the prebiotic and cholesterol-lowering drug lists by one exemplar each and shortened “faecal microbiota transplantation” to “faecal transplantation”, bringing three three-line items down to two lines.
  4. 4.5 — Benefit and risk tier strings shortened: Condensed benefits_medium (“fewer respiratory infection episodes” to “fewer respiratory infections”) and risks_low (“gas, bloating and transient digestive discomfort” to “gas, bloating and digestive discomfort”; “dairy-based products” to “dairy products”).
  5. 4.5 — Monitoring cells condensed: Reformatted marker_1_target to “Below 100 mg/dL; below 70 mg/dL at elevated cardiovascular risk” and trimmed the redundant “if continued” clause from monitoring_cadence.

  1. 4.5 — Content exceeds one A4 page: Several cells carry whole ER bullets instead of condensations — action_1_sub (line 450) merges ER bullets 386 and 398 into 39 words inside a one-third-width 8.5pt cell, while action_3_sub (472), time_3_sub (511), the longer stop_items (544, 551), caution_items (564) and the cadence line (693) are near-verbatim ER sentences, pushing the sheet past the single-page budget.

  1. 4.5 — Protocol dose cell condensed: action_1_sub cut from 39 to 27 words by replacing “Doses up to 10 billion are usually taken once daily; above that, splitting into two improves tolerability” with “Above that, splitting into two doses improves tolerability”, removing three wrapped lines from the tallest protocol cell.
  2. 4.5 — Timing cell condensed: action_3_sub changed from “improves survival of live cells through the stomach” to “improves live-cell survival”, keeping both the buffering rationale and the bedtime alternative.
  3. 4.5 — Time-to-effect subs condensed: time_1_sub dropped the redundant “of starting”, time_2_sub dropped “irritable bowel” already carried by its label, and time_3_sub was shortened from “Required more than four weeks to separate from placebo, and effects were larger beyond that point” to “Needed more than four weeks to separate from placebo; effects were larger beyond”.
  4. 4.5 — Gate items tightened: The cytotoxic-chemotherapy contraindication lost its comma before “while counts are suppressed”, and the live-microbe interaction changed from “caution, escalating to avoidance around a planned transplant” to “caution; avoid around a planned transplant”, each preserving its qualifier.
  5. 4.5 — Monitoring cadence condensed: Cut from 34 to 28 words (“Symptoms at two, four and eight weeks; lipids at eight to twelve weeks, then every six to twelve months if continued; blood counts only if immune status changes”) with every interval retained.

  1. 2.4 / 2.5 — Imperative protocol phrasing: action_2_value (line 458) states “Choose by documented strain, not by species” and action_1_sub (line 450) ends “above that, split into two” — both are directives, whereas the ER presents these descriptively as “Leading practitioners choose by documented strain, not by species” (ER line 388) and “splitting into two doses improves tolerability” (ER line 398).

  1. 2.4 / 2.5 — Imperative protocol phrasing: Replaced the directive action_2_value “Choose by documented strain, not by species” with the descriptive “Selection by documented strain, not by species”, and changed the close of action_1_sub from “above that, split into two” to “above that, splitting into two improves tolerability”, matching the ER’s own descriptive wording.
