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 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. | 🟢 | QRS preserves cautious framing (e.g. “not confirmed for purified nicotine”). |
| 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”). | 🟢 | Pregnancy kept as contraindication; no strengthening/softening. |
| 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. | 🟢 | Categories map correctly to 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, NCT IDs, or brand names introduced in the QRS. |
| 1.6 | The QRS does not introduce new attributions. | 🟢 | No new attributions present. |
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. | 🟢 | Tone matches ER’s cautious, evidence-led framing. |
| 2.2 | The tone of the QRS is simultaneously expert, accessible, objective, and data-driven, but also empowering and encouraging | 🟢 | Tone is expert and balanced. |
| 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-presenting throughout. |
| 2.6 | The QRS never addresses “the reader” directly — it presents evidence, not guidance | 🟢 | No second-person address. |
| 2.7 | The QRS is written in plain language, avoiding unnecessary medical jargon | 🟢 | Plain language used; jargon glossed. |
| 2.8 | Information is presented in a concise and very compact manner | 🟢 | Compact cells and bullets. |
| 2.9 | It DOES NOT address the reader directly | 🟢 | No direct 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 risk-aware longevity 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 detail assumes committed 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 general-population framing. |
| 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. | 🟢 | Risk/benefit weighting reflects 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. | 🟢 | 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. | 🟢 | Formal terms used; “heart attack” only as parenthetical gloss for myocardial infarction, mirroring 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 fixed headings present and unmodified. |
| 3.2 | All “…” from the [qrs_template] are present in the the QRS. | 🟢 | All template var spans present. |
| 3.3 | Spans that are not addressed in a checklist item are left unchanged | 🟢 | Unaddressed spans (e.g. hidden time_3) left intact. |
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” | 🟢 | No populated sections are empty in the ER; empty tiers hidden correctly. |
| 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. | 🟢 | Labels mirror ER bold labels. |
| 4.3 | Labels are not paraphrased, abbreviated, or invented. | 🟢 | No invented labels. |
| 4.4 | The QRS DOES NOT use emoji indicators (no 🟩, 🟥, 🟨, etc.). Color and emphasis are conveyed through CSS and bold labels. | 🟢 | No emoji indicators present. |
| 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 one-page budget. |

Issues 21/06/2026 02:51
Pass rate 100.00%. No issues found.
Issues 21/06/2026 02:47
- 13.4 — Parenthetical not stripped in risk: risks_low reads “Skin reactions (transdermal forms)” (QRS line 579); rule 13.4 requires parenthetical content in risk items to be stripped, so the “(transdermal forms)” qualifier should be removed.
Fixes 21/06/2026 02:47
- 13.4 — Parenthetical stripped from risk: Removed the “(transdermal forms)” parenthetical from the risks_low item, changing “Skin reactions (transdermal forms)” to “Skin reactions”.
