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. 🟢 Every populated span traces to ER text: protocol cells to ER Therapeutic Protocol (lines 309, 315, 319), time cells to Practical Considerations (lines 359, 361), benefit/risk items to ER section headings, gate items to Key Interactions & Contraindications (lines 273–291), markers to the ER biomarker table (lines 389–397).
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. 🟢 marker_9_target carries the ER’s hedge verbatim (“No established target for pinitol response; track change from the individual’s own two-week pre-start baseline”); at_a_glance keeps “nothing has been studied past three months”.
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”). 🟢 Contraindication strength preserved (“Pregnant or lactating women” remains a stop item, not a caution); at_a_glance retains the negative clamp result rather than reporting only the positive trials.
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. 🟢 stop_items come only from “Populations who should avoid Pinitol”; caution_items only from the six interaction bullets; no Benefit-Modifying Factors or Risk-Modifying Factors content appears in the gates.
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, NCT identifiers, author names or supplier brands (Euronutra, Carobway, Vital Nutrients) appear anywhere in the QRS.
1.6 The QRS does not introduce new attributions. 🟢 No institution, investigator or sponsor is named; trials are referenced generically (“both positive type 2 diabetes trials”, “the fatty liver trial”).

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, conflict-acknowledging register matches the ER Conclusion (“supports curiosity, not confidence”).
2.2 The tone of the QRS is simultaneously expert, accessible, objective, and data-driven, but also empowering and encouraging 🟢 Numeric targets, dose figures and response predictors are given without hype or dismissal.
2.3 The QRS reads as a trusted, knowledgeable guide rather than a prescriptive doctor 🟢 Content is stated descriptively (e.g., “Split dosing matches the half-life better than once-daily”) rather than as instruction.
2.4 The QRS avoids language that implies medical or clinical advice 🟢 No “should”, “must”, “recommend”, “advise” or “consult” appears in the document’s own voice.
2.5 The QRS “presents information” instead of “providing guidance”, “recommending”, or “advising” 🟢 monitoring_cadence is phrased as a described cadence, not a directive; qualitative items are stated as things tracked, not things to do.
2.6 The QRS never addresses “the reader” directly — it presents evidence, not guidance 🟢 No second-person pronoun occurs; qualitative_item_2 converts the ER’s “note any increase in snacking” to “including any increase in snacking”.
2.7 The QRS is written in plain language, avoiding unnecessary medical jargon 🟢 Technical terms are limited to biomarker names carried verbatim from the ER table; at_a_glance uses “blood sugar markers” rather than glycemic terminology.
2.8 Information is presented in a concise and very compact manner 🟢 Tier lists are collapsed into single semicolon-separated lines; gate items carry no mitigation or rationale text.
2.9 It DOES NOT address the reader directly 🟢 Confirmed by full-text scan for second-person forms; none present.
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. 🟢 Functional biomarker ranges (fasting insulin 2–5 µIU/mL, HOMA-IR below 1.0) and CGM tracking address an optimization-oriented reader.
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. 🟢 Twice-daily meal-timed dosing, a 12-week fasting panel cycle and daily glucose checks are presented without softening for convenience.
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 or reduced-effort alternative protocol is offered.
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 and marker_4_why both surface that benefit concentrates in the insulin-resistant phenotype, distinguishing responder from non-responder.
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. 🟢 “anti-aging” does not occur; the title uses “Health & Longevity”.
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. 🟢 Terminology is clinical throughout (alanine aminotransferase, apolipoprotein B, insulin secretagogues); the plain phrasings in at_a_glance are required by 7.4 and mirror the ER Conclusion.

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 card, gate and column headings match the template byte-for-byte (lines 440, 477, 519, 537, 549, 567, 582, 586–588, 701); visible tier labels “Medium: “, “Low: “, “Speculative: “ are unmodified.
3.2 All “” from the [qrs_template] are present in the the QRS. 🟢 Set comparison of all data-qrs-var names shows no template variable missing; the repeatable marker_#_* and qualitative_item_# rows are expanded to 9 and 4 instances respectively.
3.3 Spans that are not addressed in a checklist item are left unchanged 🟢 website="evidence_review", website="audit" and website="full_review" spans are untouched; a diff of lines 1–409 against the template shows the head, CSS and override link are identical apart from metadata and title.

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 that feeds the QRS is empty; absent benefit/risk tiers are handled under 12.5 and 13.5.
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. 🟢 action_1_label “Standard dose”, action_2_label “Single versus split dosing” and action_3_label “Best time of day” reproduce the ER bold labels at lines 309, 319 and 315 verbatim.
4.3 Labels are not paraphrased, abbreviated, or invented. 🟢 Time-cell labels reuse the ER’s own wording from line 359/361; all nine marker names reproduce the ER biomarker table column verbatim.
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” marker on the Medium benefit was stripped.
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. 🟢 Each tier is collapsed to one list item, gate items carry no rationale, and marker “Why” cells are single clauses; no section is expanded beyond the template’s per-section structure.

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: the metadata comment immediately follows <!doctype html> on line 1 and precedes the template comment on line 16.
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. 🟢 Line 3 opens and line 13 closes the block; the descriptive text “QRS — Metadata (invisible, parsed by audit tooling)” sits before the opening delimiter on line 2.
5.3 The metadata is not visible in any rendered view of the QRS and is not surfaced by any other element on the sheet. 🟢 The block is a well-formed HTML comment and none of its values are repeated in the header, footer or any span.
5.4 All frontmatter values are trimmed: no leading or trailing whitespace, no surrounding quotes unless the value contains a colon, bracket, or leading special character that requires YAML quoting. 🟢 Only duration: "00:03" is quoted, which is required because the value contains a colon; all other values are bare and untrimmed of nothing.
5.5 The filename of the source ER is stated as “er_filename: [er_filename]” 🟢 Line 4: er_filename: pinitol_2026-0825-0025_Opus_ER.md.
5.6 Version of the QRS.md file used to create the document is stated as “qrs_prompt_version: [Version of QRS.md]” 🟢 Line 5: qrs_prompt_version: 26.7.02, matching the version badge at the top of QRS.md.
5.7 Creation date and time of the document is stated as “qrs_creation_date: [YYYY-MMDD-HHMM]” (e.g., 2026-0501-1430) 🟢 Line 6: qrs_creation_date: 2026-0816-0214, correctly formatted.
5.8 The nickname of the AI used to create the document is stated as “qrs_creator_ai_nickname: [qrs_creator_ai_nickname]” 🟢 Line 7: qrs_creator_ai_nickname: Opus.
5.9 The nickname of the AI is just a single word model name without version, etc. (e.g., Opus, Sonnet, Grok, Gemini, ChatGPT) 🟢 “Opus” is a single word with no version or qualifier.
5.10 The full name of the AI used to create the document is stated as “qrs_creator_ai_fullname: [qrs_creator_ai_fullname]” 🟢 Line 8: qrs_creator_ai_fullname: Opus 5.
5.11 The full name of the AI consists of the [qrs_creator_ai_nickname] and the model version number and no additional qualifier (e.g., Opus 4.6, Sonnet 3.2, Grok 4.5, Gemini 3.1, ChatGPT 5.4) 🟢 “Opus 5” is nickname plus version number with no trailing qualifier.
5.12 The filename of the document is stated as “qrs_filename: [filename of this document]” 🟢 Line 9: qrs_filename: pinitol_2026-0825-0025_Opus_QRS.html, matching the file on disk.
5.13 All frontmatter values are trimmed: no leading or trailing whitespace, no surrounding quotes unless the value contains a colon, bracket, or leading special character that requires YAML quoting. 🟢 Re-verified across all nine keys including git_user: evipedia-1 and git_issue: 5206; no stray whitespace or unnecessary quoting.

6. Page Title & Header

# Description Result Comments
6.1 [page_title] is set to the [canonical_topic] of the ER frontmatter followed by “ - Quick Reference Sheet” (e.g., “Intervention - Quick Reference Sheet”). The [canonical_topic] is HTML-entity-encoded as needed (e.g., &amp; for &) 🟢 Line 22: Pinitol for Health &amp; Longevity - Quick Reference Sheet, matching ER canonical_topic with the ampersand encoded.
6.2 [header_topic] is set to the [canonical_topic] of the ER frontmatter, with HTML entities encoded as needed (e.g., &amp; for &) 🟢 Line 417: Pinitol for Health &amp; Longevity.
6.3 [header_subline_date] is set to [qrs_creation_date reformatted as MM/DD/YYYY] 🟢 Line 421: 08/16/2026, the correct MM/DD/YYYY rendering of 2026-0816-0214.
6.4 [header_subline_model] is set to [qrs_creator_ai_fullname] 🟢 Line 425: Opus 5, matching the frontmatter value.
6.5 No additional header content appears: no badge, version stamp, AKA / alternate names line, source-AI attribution, audit date, or QRS variant marker. 🟢 The header block (lines 415–428) contains only the title and the template’s own subline; the ER’s “Also known as” list is not carried over.

7. At-A-Glance Section

# Description Result Comments
7.1 [at_a_glance] is dense, execution-oriented summary of the ER Conclusion section 🟢 Line 433 condenses ER lines 426–428: the compound’s nature, where the human signal sits, the countervailing clamp result, and the safety/duration limit.
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. 🟢 Carob/soybean origin and insulin framing → ER line 426; insulin-resistant signal and null clamp → ER line 426; unremarkable safety and three-month ceiling → ER line 428.
7.4 It DOES NOT use acronyms or technical classifications that require specialist knowledge, uses plain-language terms instead 🟢 No acronyms; “hemoglobin A1c” and “HOMA-IR” are avoided in favor of “longer-term blood sugar markers”, and “insulin clamp” is rendered as “the most rigorous laboratory measurement of insulin sensitivity”.
7.5 It DOES NOT cite specific trials (names, years, sample sizes, p-values) 🟢 No trial name, year, country, sample size or p-value appears.
7.6 It DOES NOT cite effect sizes, relative risks, or statistical results 🟢 Directional language only (“lowered”, “found nothing”); no percentages or absolute changes.

8. Contraindications

# Description Result Comments
8.1 The section is derived from the ER Key Interactions & Contraindications section 🟢 All five items map to the “Populations who should avoid Pinitol” list at ER lines 287–291.
8.2 [stop_items] represent the Contraindications from the ER 🟢 Lines 540–544 reproduce all five avoid-populations with none omitted and none added.
8.3 Individual [stop_items] are formatted as <li></li> 🟢 Each of the five items is a discrete <li> inside the stop_items span.
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. 🟢 The ER’s trailing clauses are all stripped: “— no trial has enrolled either group at any dose”, “, given the untested ovarian D-chiro-inositol hypothesis”, “, since clearance is renal and unstudied in impairment”, “, an age band with no trial data at all”. No dash-led clause remains.
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). 🟢 “(legume)” retained; the renal item keeps both the clinical stage (“stage 4 or worse”) and the threshold “(estimated glomerular filtration rate under 30 mL/min/1.73 m²)”, trimming only the ER’s definitional gloss.
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’s contraindication bullets use no ranking notation inside parentheses.
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 five avoid-populations and the section is correctly populated rather than left 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 six items map to the interaction bullets at ER lines 273–283.
9.2 [caution_items] represent the Key Interactions from the ER, excluding any that are already listed as Contraindications 🟢 Lines 552–557 carry all six interaction bullets; none duplicates a stop_items entry.
9.3 Individual [caution_items] are formatted as <li></li> 🟢 Each of the six items is a discrete <li> inside the caution_items span.
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. 🟢 The ER’s “Caution.”/”Monitor.” severity words, mechanistic sentences and “Mitigation:” clauses are all removed; only the agent name and its example list remain.
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 drug/example list is preserved: glimepiride/gliclazide/glipizide/repaglinide; high-dose niacin, pseudoephedrine, oral corticosteroids; creatine monohydrate; berberine, chromium picolinate, alpha-lipoic acid, cinnamon extract, myo-inositol, D-chiro-inositol; prolonged fasting, ketogenic diets, endurance exercise blocks.
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’s interaction bullets use no ranking notation inside parentheses.
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 names six interactions and the section is correctly populated rather than left 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 come from ER Therapeutic Protocol: “Standard dose” (line 309), “Single versus split dosing” (line 319), “Best time of day” (line 315).
10.2 The three sets of [action] items cover the three most important actionable implementation aspects from the ER Protocol section 🟢 Dose, dose schedule and timing are the three executable levers; the remaining ER bullets (competing approach, provenance, half-life, genetics, sex, age, baseline biomarkers, pre-existing conditions) are contextual rather than actionable.
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 provides more than three actionable aspects, so 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 (lines 444–472) carry substantive ER-sourced content; no placeholder remains.

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 🟢 Fasting glucose/insulin/HOMA-IR, hemoglobin A1c and post-meal glucose are the only three time-to-effect aspects the ER states (line 359).
11.2 The sets are picked and ordered by the magnitude of the related benefit 🟢 Sets 1 and 2 attach to the Medium-tier benefit “Improved Glycemic Control in Insulin-Resistant Type 2 Diabetes”; set 3 attaches to the Low-tier “Attenuated Post-Meal Glucose Excursions”, so the ordering runs Medium → Medium → Low.
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 The ER provides three distinct time-to-effect aspects, so 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 (lines 483–511) are populated; the subs restate ER lines 359 and 361 without invention.
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 provides time-to-effect information at line 359, so the section is correctly retained.

12. Benefits

# Description Result Comments
12.1 The section is derived from the ER Expected Benefits section 🟢 All ten entries reproduce ER benefit headings from lines 145–197 with no addition or omission.
12.2 Key variables are [benefits_high], [benefits_medium], [benefits_low], [benefits_speculative] 🟢 All four spans are present at lines 521, 522, 525 and 528.
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. 🟢 Only the bare benefit headings are carried; the ER’s Magnitude paragraphs, PubMed links and percentage figures are all dropped.
12.4 Parenthetical content — including effect sizes, sample notes, mechanistic hints, and example studies — is stripped, NOT preserved. 🟢 No parentheses remain in any benefit item, and the ER’s “⚠️ Conflicted” annotation on the Medium heading is removed.
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-tier benefit; line 521 renders benefits_high as an empty span with style="display: none" and no empty-state text.

13. Risks

# Description Result Comments
13.1 The section is derived from the ER Potential Risks & Side Effects section 🟢 All seven entries reproduce ER risk headings from lines 217–255 with no addition or omission.
13.2 Key variables are [risks_high], [risks_medium], [risks_low], [risks_speculative] 🟢 All four spans are present at lines 569, 570, 571 and 574.
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. 🟢 Only the bare risk headings are carried; the ER’s Magnitude paragraphs and study references are dropped.
13.4 Parenthetical content — including frequencies, severity grades, sample notes, mechanistic hints, and example studies — is stripped, NOT preserved. 🟢 No parentheses remain in any risk item.
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. 🟢 The ER has no High- or Medium-tier risks; lines 569 and 570 render both spans empty with style="display: none" and no empty-state text.

14. Monitoring

# Description Result Comments
14.1 The section is derived from the ER Monitoring section 🟢 All nine rows and the cadence text come from ER Monitoring Protocol & Defining Success (lines 385–397).
14.2 All measurable/quantifiable biomarkers from the Monitoring section are listed 🟢 All nine biomarker-table rows are present in the same order: fasting glucose, hemoglobin A1c, fasting insulin, HOMA-IR, alanine aminotransferase, triglycerides, apolipoprotein B, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, CGM time in range; targets and “why” text are carried verbatim.
14.3 [monitoring_cadence] is populated with the monitoring cadence/frequency derived from the ER Monitoring section. It is not left with placeholder text or empty. 🟢 Line 695 states the baseline/12-week/six-month schedule plus the daily-check rule for insulin and sulfonylurea users, matching ER line 385.

15. Qualitative Assessment

# Description Result Comments
15.1 The section is derived from the ER Monitoring section 🟢 All four items come from the “Qualitative markers worth tracking alongside the labs” list at ER lines 401–404.
15.2 All subjective/qualitative biomarkers from the Monitoring section are listed 🟢 All four are present in order: post-meal energy stability, hunger and appetite pattern, digestive tolerance, waist circumference.
