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 text: At a Glance to Conclusion (ER L452-456), Protocol to Therapeutic Protocol (L352-359), Time to effect to Practical Considerations (L391) and the muscle trial (L204), gates to Key Interactions & Contraindications (L315-335), tiers to Expected Benefits / Potential Risks, Monitoring to L411-435. |
| 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 phrasing kept: “no dose-finding study exists” (L450), “Human optimal timing is unknown” (L461), benefits flagged “conflicted” as in the ER. |
| 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; contraindications and Caution/Monitor severities match the ER verbatim. |
| 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. | 🟢 | Contraindications come from ‘Populations who should avoid’, interactions from the interaction list, benefits and risks from their tiers; no re-categorisation of modifying factors. |
| 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 PMIDs, citations, expert names, NCT IDs or brand names appear in the QRS. |
| 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. | 🟢 | Measured, evidence-weighted tone mirrors the ER (“low-risk but largely unproven”). |
| 2.2 | The tone of the QRS is simultaneously expert, accessible, objective, and data-driven, but also empowering and encouraging | 🟢 | |
| 2.3 | The QRS reads as a trusted, knowledgeable guide rather than a prescriptive doctor | 🟢 | |
| 2.4 | The QRS avoids language that implies medical or clinical advice | 🟢 | Protocol cells describe trial practice (“After dinner in the night-time urination trial”) rather than prescribing. |
| 2.5 | The QRS “presents information” instead of “providing guidance”, “recommending”, or “advising” | 🟢 | |
| 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 | 🟢 | Enzyme/transporter names (CYP3A4, CYP1A2, P-gp) are kept only where they are the ER’s verbatim interaction labels; other wording is plain. |
| 2.8 | Information is presented in a concise and very compact manner | 🟢 | |
| 2.9 | It DOES NOT address the reader directly | 🟢 | |
| 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. | 🟢 | |
| 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. | 🟢 | |
| 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. | 🟢 | |
| 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. | 🟢 | At a Glance weighs promise against thin human evidence, in line with the ER’s framing for health-focused adults. |
| 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” wording. |
| 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)”; “oral” / “administered orally” not “taken by mouth” / “given by mouth”; “injection” not “shot”; “adverse event” not “bad reaction”). This holds on EVERY surface, including the QRS lede — the stricter plain-language bar (see 2.7) does not license lay phrasing for route of administration. Direct quotes from sources are exempt. | 🟢 | No colloquial terms such as pill, shot or bad reaction; “Digestive upset” is the ER’s verbatim risk heading (ER L273). |
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, gate headings, tier labels and table headers match the template. |
| 3.2 | All “…” from the [qrs_template] are present in the the QRS. | 🟢 | Every template data-qrs-var span is present (marker_# and qualitative_item_# expanded to 1-10 and 1-6). |
| 3.3 | Spans that are not addressed in a checklist item are left unchanged | 🟢 | Diff against the template shows changes only inside checklist-addressed spans and the display:none on empty tiers. |
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” | 🟢 | Empty ER tiers (High/Medium benefits and risks) are hidden per 12.5/13.5; no other empty ER section is surfaced. |
| 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. | 🟢 | Protocol labels (“Trial-based dosing”, “Time of day”, “Absorption”) and interaction labels use the ER bold labels verbatim; parenthetical example lists are trimmed only as 9.5 allows. |
| 4.3 | Labels are not paraphrased, abbreviated, 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. |
| 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. | 🟢 | Sections are condensed (tiers reduced to short labels; interaction rationale and mitigation removed); nothing is spread onto an extra page beyond the template layout. |
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. | 🟢 | Metadata comment at L2-14, directly after <!doctype html>. |

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. | 🟢 | Explanatory parentheticals such as “(no safety data)” and the Child-Pugh gloss 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). | 🟢 | Thresholds and classes kept: “below 100,000/µL”, “Within 2 weeks”, “Child-Pugh Class B or C”. |
| 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 in contraindications. |
| 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 populated; the ER names populations to avoid. |
| 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. |
9. Key Interactions

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. | 🟢 | Only the ER label plus the severity (Caution/Monitor) kept; effects and mitigations 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). | 🟢 | Example drug lists kept (e.g., tacrolimus, cyclosporine, simvastatin, midazolam; warfarin, apixaban, clopidogrel, aspirin). |
| 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 in interactions. |
| 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 populated; the ER names 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. |

Issues 23/09/2026 13:02
Pass rate 100.00%. No issues found.
Issues 23/09/2026 13:00
- 4.2 — Time-of-day label mismatch: Protocol cell action_2 (QRS lines 455-461) carries the ER label “Time of day” but its value “One daily dose at a fixed time” comes from the ER “Single versus split dosing” bullet (ER line 358) rather than the ER “Time of day” bullet (ER line 356).
Fixes 23/09/2026 13:00
- 4.2 — Time-of-day label mismatch: Replaced the action_2 value “One daily dose at a fixed time” with “After dinner in the night-time urination trial” and the sub with “Human optimal timing is unknown; in mice, effects differed by dosing phase”, so the cell now reflects the ER “Time of day” bullet.
Issues 23/09/2026 12:58
- 8.4 — Trailing rationale in contraindication: The stop item “Pregnant or breastfeeding women (no safety data)” (line 542) keeps the explanatory parenthetical “(no safety data)”, a rationale rather than a qualifier, which 8.4 requires to be stripped.
Fixes 23/09/2026 12:58
- 8.4 — Trailing rationale in contraindication: Removed the explanatory parenthetical from the stop item, changing “Pregnant or breastfeeding women (no safety data)” to “Pregnant or breastfeeding women”.
