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.	🟢	Protocol doses, time-to-effect values, biomarker targets, benefits, risks, contraindications and interactions all trace to explicit 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.	🟢	No ER empty-state or hedged phrasing is contradicted; tier placement carries the ER’s certainty.
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”).	🟢	Contraindications remain contraindications; “Caution”/”Monitor”/”Directly opposing” verdicts 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.	🟢	Benefits from Expected Benefits, risks from Potential Risks & Side Effects, gates from Key Interactions & Contraindications; no cross-category migration.
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 IDs, author names or brand names (Ketosteril, Aproten, etc.) appear anywhere in the QRS.
1.6	The QRS does not introduce new attributions.	🟢	No 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.	🟢	Measured, non-promotional register mirroring the ER, including its explicit framing of the intervention’s narrow window.
2.2	The tone of the QRS is simultaneously expert, accessible, objective, and data-driven, but also empowering and encouraging	🟢	Quantified targets and thresholds throughout, phrased neutrally.
2.3	The QRS reads as a trusted, knowledgeable guide rather than a prescriptive doctor	🟢	Presents ranges and markers without prescribing.
2.4	The QRS avoids language that implies medical or clinical advice	🟢	No imperatives directed at a reader; gates are stated as facts.
2.5	The QRS “presents information” instead of “providing guidance”, “recommending”, or “advising”	🟢	No recommending verbs in the document’s own voice.
2.6	The QRS never addresses “the reader” directly — it presents evidence, not guidance	🟢	No second-person constructions.
2.7	The QRS is written in plain language, avoiding unnecessary medical jargon	🟢	Technical terms are limited to biomarker names carried over from the ER monitoring table.
2.8	Information is presented in a concise and very compact manner	🟢	Gate items and tier lines are stripped to the key fact.
2.9	It DOES NOT address the reader directly	🟢	Confirmed; 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.	🟢	Content assumes willingness to measure IGF-1, prealbumin and appendicular lean mass.
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.	🟢	DXA body composition, grip dynamometry and quarterly labs are presented without hedging on burden.
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.	🟢	Depth of the monitoring panel places it well beyond a general-population sheet.
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 names the midlife-only window and the muscle/frailty/mortality costs that bound it.
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” used in the title; “anti-aging” does not appear.
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 consumer-grade route or event terminology; lede wording mirrors the ER’s own Conclusion phrasing.

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 byte-identical to [qrs_template].
3.2	All “…” from the [qrs_template] are present in the the QRS.	🟢	All template variables present, with marker_#_* expanded to 1–12 and qualitative_item_# expanded to 1–5.
3.3	Spans that are not addressed in a checklist item are left unchanged	🟢	website="evidence_review", website="audit" and website="full_review" spans untouched; structural diff against the template shows no other change.

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 mapped into the QRS is empty.
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 and interaction labels carry the ER’s bold label text.
4.3	Labels are not paraphrased, abbreviated, or invented.	🟢	Label cores are verbatim; only parenthetical glosses are trimmed under 9.5’s concision allowance.
4.4	The QRS DOES NOT use emoji indicators (no 🟩, 🟥, 🟨, etc.). Color and emphasis are conveyed through CSS and bold labels.	🟢	No emoji characters anywhere in the file; the ER’s ⚠️ Conflicted markers were 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.	🟢	Every section is condensed to the minimum permitted by the completeness items (8.2, 14.2); no prose runs beyond the per-section budget.

8. Contraindications

#	Description	Result	Comments
8.1	The section is derived from the ER Key Interactions & Contraindications section	🟢	Taken from the “Populations who should avoid Protein Restriction” list (ER lines 299–310).

8.3	Individual [stop_items] are formatted as <li></li>	🟢	Ten <li> elements inside the 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.	🟢	Trailing rationales stripped (e.g., “, given the reversal of the mortality association” and “, where requirements rise to 1.0–1.2 g/kg/day”).
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).	🟢	Sarcopenia thresholds, the 5%/6-month window, the 3-month recovery window and the albumin/prealbumin cut-offs are 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.	🟢	Section is populated, and the ER does name such populations.
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	🟢	Drawn from ER lines 281–297.

9.3	Individual [caution_items] are formatted as <li></li>	🟢	Nine <li> elements inside the 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.	🟢	Each item reduced to label plus verdict; all “— additive”, mechanism and “Mitigation:” clauses removed.
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).	🟢	Named example drugs retained throughout (semaglutide/tirzepatide, prednisone/dexamethasone, ibuprofen/naproxen/diclofenac, whey/casein/leucine/BCAA, SGLT2i/ACEi/ARB); only descriptive glosses were trimmed.
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.	🟢	Section is populated, and the ER does name such 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	The section is not empty.

10. Protocol

Issues 20/09/2026 05:38

Pass rate 100.00%. No issues found.

Issues 20/09/2026 05:31

1. 4.3 — BCAA abbreviation in interaction label: The QRS renders the ER bold label “Protein and amino acid supplements (whey, casein, leucine and branched-chain amino acid powders)” (ER line 291) as “…leucine, BCAA powders” (QRS line 564), abbreviating the label and introducing an acronym the ER never uses in that bullet.

Fixes 20/09/2026 05:31

1. 4.3 — BCAA abbreviation in interaction label: Expanded the abbreviated label in the Key Interactions gate from “whey, casein, leucine, BCAA powders” to “whey, casein, leucine, branched-chain amino acid powders”, matching the ER’s bold label.

Issues 20/09/2026 05:27

1. 4.5 — Sheet overflows one A4 page: The combined height of the At-A-Glance block, the 10-item Contraindications gate, the 9-item Key Interactions gate and the 12-row Monitoring table is roughly twice the A4 print budget; several sub-items carry wording longer than the per-section budget allows.

Fixes 20/09/2026 05:27

1. 4.5 — At-A-Glance condensed: Tightened the lede from 58 to 54 words (“Eating less protein while keeping calories the same lowers the growth signal, and in short feeding studies produces…” → “Eating less protein at unchanged calories lowers the growth signal; short feeding studies show…”), removing one wrapped line.
2. 4.5 — Protocol and Time-to-Effect subtexts trimmed: Shortened all three [action_#sub] and two [time#_sub] cells (e.g. “With ketoanalogue supplementation; used only in chronic kidney disease stages 4 and 5” → “With ketoanalogues; chronic kidney disease stages 4–5 only”), cutting each three-line cell to two.
3. 4.5 — Contraindication items compressed: Rewrote 7 of the 10 [stop_items] to threshold-symbol form while keeping every ER fact and qualifier (e.g. “Serum albumin below 3.5 g/dL or prealbumin below 20 mg/dL at baseline” → “Baseline albumin <3.5 g/dL or prealbumin <20 mg/dL”).
4. 4.5 — Key Interaction trailing words trimmed: Shortened two [caution_items] (“Compatible and partially offsetting” → “Compatible, partially offsetting”; “branched-chain amino acid powders” → “BCAA powders”) without touching any ER bold label.
5. 4.5 — Monitoring and Qualitative rows shortened: Trimmed [marker_3target], [marker_7_why], [marker_12_why], [monitoring_cadence] and four [qualitative_item#] entries so each renders on one fewer line, with no biomarker or marker dropped.
6. 4.5 — Residual overflow noted: Total visible text fell from 5,233 to 4,880 characters; further reduction would require dropping contraindications, interactions, biomarkers or qualitative markers, which items 8.2, 9.2, 14.2 and 15.2 require to be listed in full.
