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. | 🟢 | Dose range, 4:1 ratio, 4–6 g crude equivalence, alcohol-solubility, timing, all benefit/risk tiers, contraindications, interactions, markers and cadence trace to ER lines 260–420. |
| 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. | 🟢 | “results registry-stated and still unpublished”, “though no timing study supports it”, “Side effects reported so far are mild” mirror ER hedging. |
| 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”). | 🟢 | Nitrate contraindication retained as a stop item, not downgraded to caution; benefits remain at Low/Speculative tiers. |
| 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. | 🟢 | Protocol cells come only from ER Therapeutic Protocol; gates only from Key Interactions & Contraindications; tiers only from the matching ER benefit/risk tiers. |
| 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. | 🟢 | The QRS carries no PMIDs, NCT identifiers, investigator names or brand names at all. |
| 1.6 | The QRS does not introduce new attributions. | 🟢 | Only generic descriptors (“uncontrolled series”, “four-herb formula”, “four-ingredient formula”), all present in the ER. |
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 “believable mechanism, thin record” framing. |
| 2.2 | The tone of the QRS is simultaneously expert, accessible, objective, and data-driven, but also empowering and encouraging | 🟢 | States the evidence gap plainly while giving actionable dose, form, timing and monitoring detail. |
| 2.3 | The QRS reads as a trusted, knowledgeable guide rather than a prescriptive doctor | 🟢 | Descriptive throughout; no imperatives. |
| 2.4 | The QRS avoids language that implies medical or clinical advice | 🟢 | Doses and cadence are reported as what studies and practice use, not as instructions. |
| 2.5 | The QRS “presents information” instead of “providing guidance”, “recommending”, or “advising” | 🟢 | No occurrence of “recommend”, “advise”, “should” in the document voice. |
| 2.6 | The QRS never addresses “the reader” directly — it presents evidence, not guidance | 🟢 | No second-person pronouns anywhere in the file. |
| 2.7 | The QRS is written in plain language, avoiding unnecessary medical jargon | 🟢 | Technical terms are glossed as in the ER (“myocardial infarction (heart attack)”, NYHA and Child-Pugh classes explained). |
| 2.8 | Information is presented in a concise and very compact manner | 🟢 | Gate and tier items are noun phrases; protocol subs are one to two short sentences. |
| 2.9 | It DOES NOT address the reader directly | 🟢 | Confirmed by full-text scan for you/your. |
| 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 reader who will source a tested single-ingredient extract and run a biomarker panel. |
| 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. | 🟢 | Monitoring panel of seven markers plus weekly qualitative tracking presumes exactly that. |
| 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. | 🟢 | No simplified “just try it” framing; adulteration hazard and biomarker work are foregrounded. |
| 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. | 🟢 | The high-tier risk is the product-category adulteration hazard, the concern specific to a self-sourcing reader. |
| 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. | 🟢 | “Longevity” appears only in the canonical topic; “anti-aging” appears nowhere. |
| 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. | 🟢 | Uses “gastrointestinal upset”, “central nervous system overstimulation”, “erectile function”, “plasminogen”-derived “clotting-marker” phrasing from the ER. |
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 present verbatim at lines 445, 491, 542, 569, 587, 615, 638, 642–644, 752 and in the tier <strong> labels. |
| 3.2 | All “…” from the [qrs_template] are present in the the QRS. | 🟢 | 60 distinct data-qrs-var spans present, each exactly once: page_title, header_, at_a_glance, action_1–3_, time_1–3*, benefits, stop/caution_items, risks_, marker_1–7_*, monitoring_cadence, qualitative_item_1–6. |
| 3.3 | Spans that are not addressed in a checklist item are left unchanged | 🟢 | <span website="evidence_review">, <span website="audit"> and <span website="full_review"> are untouched. |
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 mapped to a QRS variable is empty; the empty benefit tiers are handled under 12.5 by hiding the span. |
| 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. | 🟢 | “Standard extract dose”, “Preparation matters”, “Best time of day” match ER lines 315, 323, 325 verbatim. |
| 4.3 | Labels are not paraphrased, abbreviated, or invented. | 🟢 | Benefit, risk and marker labels reproduce the ER headings and biomarker names; time-cell labels are drawn from the corresponding ER benefit headings. |
| 4.4 | The QRS DOES NOT use emoji indicators (no 🟩, 🟥, 🟨, etc.). Color and emphasis are conveyed through CSS and bold labels. | 🟢 | Full-text scan returns no emoji code points; the ER’s ⚠️ Conflicted markers were dropped. |
| 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. | 🟢 | Three protocol cells, three time cells, two tiered lists, eight and ten gate items, seven markers, six qualitative items — within the one-page budget. |
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. | 🟢 | Lines 2–14, immediately after the doctype. |
| 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. | 🟢 | Opening --- at line 3, closing --- at line 13; the preamble text sits on line 2. |

7. At-A-Glance Section
| # | Description | Result | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|
| 7.1 | [at_a_glance] is dense, execution-oriented summary of the ER Conclusion section |
🟢 | Condenses ER lines 441–445: two-sided reputation, laboratory profile, absent placebo evidence, mild side effects, adulteration as dominant hazard. |
| 7.2 | [at_a_glance] is no longer than 60 words | 🟢 | 57 words. |
| 7.3 | Every fact in [at_a_glance] is supported by a distinct passage in the ER. | 🟢 | Each of the four sentences maps to a distinct sentence in the ER Conclusion. |
| 7.4 | It DOES NOT use acronyms or technical classifications that require specialist knowledge, uses plain-language terms instead | 🟢 | No acronyms; “brain chemistry”, “blood-vessel relaxation”, “hidden prescription drugs” are plain-language renderings. |
| 7.5 | It DOES NOT cite specific trials (names, years, sample sizes, p-values) | 🟢 | No trial names, years, sample sizes or p-values. |
| 7.6 | It DOES NOT cite effect sizes, relative risks, or statistical results | 🟢 | No numeric results of any kind. |
8. Contraindications
| # | Description | Result | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|
| 8.1 | The section is derived from the ER Key Interactions & Contraindications section |
🟢 | All eight items come from the ER’s “Populations who should avoid Muira puama” list (ER lines 284–291). |
| 8.2 | [stop_items] represent the Contraindications from the ER | 🟢 | Eight ER avoid-bullets → eight <li> items, one-to-one, with the nitrate absolute contraindication (ER line 260) folded into item 3. |
| 8.3 | Individual [stop_items] are formatted as <li></li> | 🟢 | Eight discrete <li> elements inside the stop_items span (lines 571–583). |
| 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. | 🟢 | Every ER trailing clause (“— no reproductive toxicology…”, “because of the adulteration hazard”, “— clearance is entirely uncharacterised”) is stripped. |
| 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). | 🟢 | “within 90 days”, “Class III–IV (marked limitation of activity, or symptoms at rest)”, “Child-Pugh Class B or C (moderate to severe)”, “(breast, uterine, prostate)” all retained. |
| 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. |
🟢 | The ER names eight such populations, and the section is correspondingly populated rather than empty. |
| 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. |
9. Key Interactions
| # | Description | Result | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|
| 9.1 | The section is derived from the ER Key Interactions & Contraindications section |
🟢 | All ten items map to ER bullets at lines 262–280. |
| 9.2 | [caution_items] represent the Key Interactions from the ER, excluding any that are already listed as Contraindications | 🟢 | Ten of the ER’s eleven interaction bullets appear; nitrates are correctly omitted because they are carried as a stop item. |
| 9.3 | Individual [caution_items] are formatted as <li></li> | 🟢 | Ten discrete <li> elements (lines 590–605). |
| 9.4 | 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. | 🟢 | Each item is the drug class alone; the ER’s Caution/Monitor tags, mechanisms and mitigations are all stripped. |
| 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). | 🟢 | Every ER example-drug parenthetical is retained verbatim, including the italicised Bacopa monnieri and Panax ginseng. |
| 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. |
🟢 | The ER lists eleven interactions, and the section is correspondingly populated rather than empty. |
| 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. |
10. Protocol
| # | Description | Result | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10.1 | The section is derived from the ER Protocol section |
🟢 | All three cells trace to ER Therapeutic Protocol lines 315, 323, 325 and 335. |
| 10.2 | The three sets of [action] items cover the three most important actionable implementation aspects from the ER Protocol section |
🟢 | Dose, preparation/solvent and timing are the three decisions a reader must make before starting. |
| 10.3 | If less that three distinct actionable implementation aspects are mentioned in the ER the unused sets are left empty and made invisible, not filled with placeholder text or empty-state phrasing. | N/A | The ER supplies well over three actionable aspects; all three sets are used. |
| 10.4 | All used [action_#label], [action#value], [action#_sub] items are filled with meaningful content derived from the ER Protocol section. |
🟢 | All nine spans carry ER-derived content; no placeholders remain. |
11. Time to Effect
| # | Description | Result | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|
| 11.1 | The three sets of [time] items cover the three most important time-to-effect aspects from the ER | 🟢 | Sexual function (ER line 374), burning mouth syndrome (ER line 152) and artery dilation (ER line 158) are the only outcomes with a stated onset. |
| 11.2 | The sets are picked and ordered by the magnitude of the related benefit | 🟢 | Order matches the ER’s Low-tier benefit ordering: sexual desire and erection, burning mouth syndrome, artery dilation. |
| 11.3 | If less that three distinct time-to-effect aspects are mentioned in the ER the unused sets are left empty and made invisible, not filled with placeholder text or empty-state phrasing. | N/A | Three distinct time-to-effect aspects exist; all three sets are used. |
| 11.4 | All used [time_#label], [time#value], [time#_sub] items are filled with meaningful content derived from the ER. | 🟢 | All nine spans populated; subs carry the ER’s caveats (8–12 week assessment window, formula-only testing, unpublished registry result). |
| 11.5 | If the ER does not provide any information on time to effect, the section is removed completely from the Protocol Panel |
N/A | The ER does provide time-to-effect information, so the section is correctly retained. |
12. Benefits
| # | Description | Result | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|
| 12.1 | The section is derived from the ER Expected Benefits section |
🟢 | Low and Speculative items reproduce the ER’s benefit headings at lines 142–180. |
| 12.2 | Key variables are [benefits_high], [benefits_medium], [benefits_low], [benefits_speculative] | 🟢 | All four spans present (lines 544–562). |
| 12.3 | Items are as concise as possible. No explanations, no elaborations, no effect sizes, no qualifiers, no attributions, no citations, no study details, no mechanistic explanations, etc. Just the key fact. | 🟢 | Semicolon-separated benefit names only; no magnitudes or study detail carried across. |
| 12.4 | Parenthetical content — including effect sizes, sample notes, mechanistic hints, and example studies — is stripped, NOT preserved. | 🟢 | No parenthetical content appears in either tier. |
| 12.5 | If no items of a specific sub-section (high, medium, low, speculative) are present the respective is set to “display=none”, not filled with “None documented in human trials to date” or similar empty-state phrasing. | 🟢 | The ER has no High or Medium benefit; both spans carry style="display: none" with no empty-state text. |
13. Risks
| # | Description | Result | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|
| 13.1 | The section is derived from the ER Potential Risks & Side Effects section |
🟢 | All four tiers reproduce the ER headings at lines 206–236. |

| 13.3 | Items are as concise as possible. No explanations, no elaborations, no effect sizes, no qualifiers, no attributions, no citations, no study details, no mechanistic explanations, etc. Just the key fact. | 🟢 | Risk names only; the ER’s 45.5%/47.0%/9.3% magnitudes and the ⚠️ Conflicted marker are omitted. |
| 13.4 | Parenthetical content — including frequencies, severity grades, sample notes, mechanistic hints, and example studies — is stripped, NOT preserved. | 🟢 | No parenthetical content appears in any tier. |
| 13.5 | If no items of a specific sub-section (high, medium, low, speculative) are present the respective is set to “display=none”, not filled with “None documented in human trials to date” or similar empty-state phrasing. | N/A | The ER populates all four risk tiers, so no span needs hiding. |

Issues 20/08/2026 05:37
Pass rate 100.00%. No issues found.
Issues 20/08/2026 05:31
- 8.5 — Contraindication parentheticals dropped: The QRS drops three ER parenthetical qualifiers entirely instead of trimming them — “(heart attack)”, “(marked limitation of activity, or symptoms at rest)” for NYHA Class III–IV, and “(moderate to severe liver failure)” for Child-Pugh B/C (QRS lines 574–576, from ER lines 286–288) — removing the plain-language staging glosses a reader needs to decide whether the gate applies.
Fixes 20/08/2026 05:31
- 8.5 — Contraindication parentheticals restored: Re-added the three dropped ER parenthetical qualifiers to the Contraindications gate — “(heart attack)” after myocardial infarction, “(marked limitation of activity, or symptoms at rest)” after NYHA Class III–IV heart failure, and “(moderate to severe)” after Child-Pugh Class B or C liver impairment. The Child-Pugh gloss was trimmed from the ER’s “moderate to severe liver failure” to fit the one-page budget without dropping it.
Issues 20/08/2026 05:26
- 2.5 — Directive age-dose phrasing:
action_1_sub(lines 456-457) states “Older adults start at 500–1,000 mg”, an unhedged instruction, where the ERTherapeutic Protocolsays “Older adults … are reasonably started at the lower end (500–1,000 mg)”.
Fixes 20/08/2026 05:26
- 2.5 — Directive age-dose phrasing: Rewrote
action_1_subfrom “Older adults start at 500–1,000 mg” to “Older adults are reasonably started at 500–1,000 mg”, restoring the ER’s hedged, non-directive wording.
