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. | 🟢 | Lede, Protocol, Time to effect, gates, tiers, Monitoring and Qualitative items all trace to ER text (Conclusion, Therapeutic Protocol, Practical Considerations, Key Interactions, Monitoring table) |
| 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 trial compared timing” (line 478), “one small trial pointed the other way” (line 495), “No established target” (line 658) |
| 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 found; lede keeps “modest”, “rare” and “untested in people” |
| 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”, documented and theoretical interactions keep their ER groups; no modifying factor relabelled |
| 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 in the QRS |
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. | 🟢 | |
| 2.2 | The tone of the QRS is expert, accessible, objective, and data-driven | 🟢 | |
| 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 | 🟢 | |
| 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 direct address of the reader |
| 2.7 | The QRS is written in plain language, avoiding unnecessary medical jargon | 🟢 | Technical terms appear only in ER labels carried verbatim (NSAIDs, CYP substrates, CA72-4) or the monitoring table |
| 2.8 | Information is presented in a concise and very compact manner | 🟢 | |
| 2.9 | 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. | 🟢 | |
| 2.10 | The target audience is willing to employ lifestyle and behavioral changes as well as follow protocols that may be inconvenient, costly, or require effort. | 🟢 | |
| 2.11 | 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. | 🟢 | |
| 2.12 | 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. | 🟢 | |
| 2.13 | 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 |
| 2.14 | 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 route or consumer-grade terms |
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 column headers match the template |
| 3.2 | Every element carrying a data-qrs-var attribute in [qrs_template] is present in the QRS with the same name | 🟢 | All template data-qrs-var names present; marker_# and qualitative_item_# expanded to numbered names as 14.2/15.2 require |
| 3.3 | Everything outside the data-qrs-var spans — markup, text, styles, comments — is as in the template; spans that no checklist item addresses are left unchanged as well | 🟢 | Diff against template shows changes only inside data-qrs-var spans, the risks_high display:none (13.5) and the metadata values (section 5; pipeline keys duration/git_user/git_issue added) |
4. Formatting
| # | Description | Result | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4.1 | An empty ER section never produces visible empty-state text in the QRS: the corresponding region is hidden or left empty. Phrases such as “None documented in human trials to date” or “Not formally studied” appear only where the ER uses them for a fact the QRS carries over. | 🟢 | Empty risks_high tier hidden with no empty-state text (line 593) |
| 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 (“Standard extract dose”, “Single versus split dosing”, “Time of day”) and contraindication labels are the ER bold labels verbatim |
| 4.3 | Labels are not paraphrased, abbreviated, or invented. | 🟢 | Labels not paraphrased; parenthetical example lists only trimmed, keeping at least one ER example |
| 4.4 | The QRS DOES NOT use emoji indicators (no 🟩, 🟥, 🟨, etc.). Color and emphasis are conveyed through CSS and bold labels. | 🟢 | No emoji in the file |
| 4.5 | The QRS is designed to render on one A4 page. It fails this item only for one of four things: a trailing clause after a dash, an optional gloss, an example list left untrimmed, or a repetition. Nothing else is cut to fit. | 🟢 | No trailing dash clauses, glosses removed from interaction labels, example lists trimmed, no repetition |
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 line 2, directly after <!doctype html> |
| 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. | 🟢 | |
| 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. | 🟢 | |
| 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 is quoted, which contains a colon |
| 5.5 | The filename of the source ER is stated as “er_filename: [er_filename]” | 🟢 | |

| 5.9 | The nickname of the AI is the full name without the version number, with all remaining words joined by hyphens (e.g., Opus, Sonnet, Grok, Gemini-Flash, GPT); when the full name has no version number or is “Unknown”, the nickname equals the full name | 🟢 | Opus |
| 5.10 | The full name of the AI used to create the document is stated as “qrs_creator_ai_fullname: [qrs_creator_ai_fullname]” | 🟢 | |
| 5.11 | The full name of the AI consists of the model name (the word or words directly before the version number, leaving out the first if there is more than one, e.g., Claude Opus 5.5 → Opus 5.5), the model version number and the variant (if any) as stated in the system prompt or developer instructions of the creating model, with every word capitalized and without product, effort or pricing names (e.g., Opus X.Y, Sonnet X.Y, Grok X.Y, Gemini X.Y Flash, GPT X.Y), the model name alone when the system prompt or developer instructions name a model without a version number (e.g., Grok), or “Unknown” when neither the system prompt nor the developer instructions of the creating model name a model | 🟢 | Opus 5.5 |
| 5.12 | The filename of the document is stated as “qrs_filename: [filename of this document]” | 🟢 |

| # | Description | Result | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|
| 7.1 | [at_a_glance] opens by saying what the intervention is — its kind (e.g., dietary supplement, prescription medication, peptide, plant, procedure, practice) — and what it is used for, in plain language, before any verdict on the evidence | 🟢 | Opens “Reishi is a medicinal mushroom sold as a dietary supplement and long taken as a tonic for vitality and long life” |

| 7.6 | It DOES NOT cite specific trials (names, years, sample sizes, p-values) | 🟢 | |
| 7.7 | It DOES NOT cite effect sizes, relative risks, or statistical results | 🟢 |
8. Contraindications
| # | Description | Result | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|
| 8.1 | The section is derived from the ER Key Interactions & Contraindications section |
🟢 | |

| 8.3 | Individual [stop_items] are formatted as <li></li> | 🟢 | |
| 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. | 🟢 | |
| 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). | 🟢 | “(lupus, dermatomyositis)” and “(gastric, colorectal, ovarian cancer)” kept |
| 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 | ER uses no ranking notation in contraindication 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. |
🟢 | Section correctly populated; ER names six 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 | Section not empty |
9. Key Interactions
| # | Description | Result | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|
| 9.1 | The section is derived from the ER Key Interactions & Contraindications section |
🟢 | |
| 9.2 | [caution_items] represent the ER’s documented interactions — the items under its “Documented interactions:” label — excluding any that are already listed as Contraindications and any entry phrased as no interaction found | 🟢 | Only Food listed; ascorbic acid, cytotoxic chemotherapy and cordyceps are phrased as no interaction found and correctly excluded |
| 9.3 | [caution_theoretical_items] represent the ER’s theoretical interactions — the items under its “Theoretical interactions (inferred from mechanism, not studied in humans):” label | 🟢 | All ten ER theoretical interactions present |
| 9.4 | The ER placeholder “None identified” is never an item: it means that group is empty | 🟢 | |
| 9.5 | Individual [caution_items] and [caution_theoretical_items] are formatted as <li></li>. The template’s bold “Theoretical (inferred from mechanism)” sub-heading is the only marker of the second list’s status: no item carries “(theoretical)”, “inferred from” or a mechanism clause | 🟢 | |
| 9.6 | 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. | 🟢 | |
| 9.7 | 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). | 🟢 | Each example list keeps at least one ER example |
| 9.8 | 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 | ER uses no ranking notation in interaction parentheses |
| 9.9 | If the ER’s theoretical group is empty, the whole Theoretical block — the caution_theoretical span with its sub-heading and list — is hidden with style="display:none", not removed: its spans stay in place, empty. |
N/A | ER theoretical group is not empty |
| 9.10 | 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 correctly populated |
| 9.11 | 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, and the Theoretical block is hidden per 9.9. E.g. | N/A | Section not empty |
