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 protocol, benefit, risk, monitoring, and gate content traces to ER passages.
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 and “Theoretical estrogenic effects” preserve ER’s cautious 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”). 🟢 Gate items mirror ER’s own grouping “Populations who should avoid or use caution” (ER line 317).
1.4 The QRS does not relabel an ER fact under a different decision category. 🟢 Contraindications and Key Interactions both drawn from the ER’s own categories.
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 citations, PMIDs, NCTs, 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. 🟢 Objective, evidence-first tone matches the ER.
2.2 The tone of the QRS is simultaneously expert, accessible, objective, and data-driven, but also empowering and encouraging 🟢 Data-driven and 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 advice-implying language in the variable content.
2.5 The QRS “presents information” instead of “providing guidance”, “recommending”, or “advising” 🟢 Content is presented as facts and ranges.
2.6 The QRS never addresses “the reader” directly — it presents evidence, not guidance 🟢 No second-person address in variable content.
2.7 The QRS is written in plain language, avoiding unnecessary medical jargon 🟢 Biomarker/enzyme terms are used only where necessary (monitoring/interactions).
2.8 Information is presented in a concise and very compact manner 🟢 Cells and lists are terse.
2.9 It DOES NOT address the reader directly 🟢 No “you/your” in variable content.
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 optimizers.
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 and monitoring assume a willing, engaged reader.
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 framed for 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. 🟢 Notes benefits appear mainly in those with elevated markers.
2.14 The document’s own voice frames usage in longevity terms, not “anti-aging”. Proper names that contain “anti-aging” are quoted verbatim. 🟢 No “anti-aging” usage present.
2.15 The document’s own voice uses formal clinical and scientific terminology, not colloquial or consumer-grade language. Direct quotes from sources are exempt. 🟢 Formal terminology used outside the plain-language At-A-Glance (governed by 7.4).

3. Template Integrity

# Description Result Comments
3.1 The following labels and headings on the QRS are fixed and not modified: card/section headings, gate headings, tier labels, Monitoring table column headers. 🟢 “Protocol”, “Time to effect”, “Benefits”, “Risk & Side Effects”, “Monitoring”, “Qualitative Assessment”, “Contraindications”, “Key Interactions”, tiers, and “Marker/Target/Why” all intact.
3.2 All “” from the [qrs_template] are present in the QRS. 🟢 Full variable set present (header, at_a_glance, actions, times, benefits, risks, gates, markers, cadence, qualitative).
3.3 Spans that are not addressed in a checklist item are left unchanged 🟢 Non-addressed spans 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. 🟢 Empty High tiers are handled via display:none per 12.5/13.5; no other empty section requires 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. 🟢 Monitoring rows use ER biomarker names verbatim; Protocol labels are synthesized per section 10’s specific rules.
4.3 Labels are not paraphrased, abbreviated, or invented. 🟢 Labels faithfully represent ER content.
4.4 The QRS DOES NOT use emoji indicators (no 🟩, 🟥, 🟨, etc.). 🟢 No emoji in QRS content; color via CSS only.
