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 protocol, time-to-effect, benefit, risk, gate, monitoring and At-a-Glance content traces to ER passages (Therapeutic Protocol, Practical Considerations, Expected Benefits, Potential Risks, Key Interactions, Monitoring, Conclusion). |
| 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. | 🟢 | “(theoretical)”, “no study exists”, “proposed; no age threshold given”, “as a precaution” carried over from 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”). | 🟢 | Classifications (Avoid, Caution, Monitor, No interaction) match ER wording. |
| 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 the ER avoid list, interactions from the ER interaction list, risks from Potential Risks. |
| 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 IDs, citations, expert or brand names; “French label” reference matches the ER Therapeutic Protocol. |
| 1.6 | The QRS does not introduce new attributions. | 🟢 | No new attributions. |
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 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 | 🟢 | “Avoid”/”Caution” appear only as ER interaction classifications. |
| 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 | 🟢 | |
| 2.7 | The QRS is written in plain language, avoiding unnecessary medical jargon | 🟢 | Technical terms are ER labels/headings carried verbatim; CFU expanded in action_1_sub. |
| 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 notes little established benefit as a continuous supplement. |
| 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. | 🟢 |
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” | 🟢 | |
| 3.2 | All “…” from the [qrs_template] are present in the the QRS. | 🟢 | All template spans present (page_title through qualitative_item_#). |
| 3.3 | Spans that are not addressed in a checklist item are left unchanged | 🟢 | Diff against template shows only variable spans and metadata changed; website spans untouched. |
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 risk tiers (High, Speculative) are hidden per 13.5; no invented empty-state phrasing. |
| 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 and interaction labels match ER bold labels (example lists trimmed only). |
| 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. | 🟢 | |
| 4.5 | The QRS is designed to render on one A4 page: every section is condensed to the shortest form the other checklist items allow, not extended onto a second page. | 🟢 | Content limited to required gate items, labels, qualifiers and markers; example lists trimmed. |
5. Metadata
| # | Description | Result | Comments |

7. At-A-Glance Section
| # | Description | Result | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|

| 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). | 🟢 | |
| 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 | No ranking notation in the ER 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. |
🟢 | Not 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 | Section not empty. |

| 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 lists trimmed, never dropped; 50 °C threshold kept. |
| 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 | No ranking notation in the ER 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. |
🟢 | Not 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 | Section not empty. |

Issues 19/10/2026 08:15
Pass rate 100.00%. No issues found.
Issues 19/10/2026 08:11
- 4.5 — Untrimmed example lists: Key Interactions (lines 556–564) keep the ER’s full example lists in every label (e.g., “fluconazole, itraconazole, nystatin, amphotericin B”; “tacrolimus, mycophenolate, high-dose prednisone, cancer chemotherapy”), and the lactose contraindication (line 548) keeps “such as Ultra-Levure”; these can be trimmed to fewer examples without breaking any other item.
Fixes 19/10/2026 08:11
- 4.5 — Trimmed interaction example lists: Shortened the example lists in the Key Interactions labels to one to three of the ER’s own examples each (e.g., antifungals to “fluconazole, nystatin”, antibiotics to “ampicillin, vancomycin”), and cut the lactose contraindication qualifier from “(lactose-containing products such as Ultra-Levure)” to “(lactose-containing products)”.
Issues 19/10/2026 08:09
- 9.4 / 4.5 — Trailing rationale in interaction: The Immunosuppressants item (line 557) ends “Avoid (immunodeficiency contraindication)”; the parenthetical is a rationale for the verdict, not a qualifier, and lengthens the gate without need.
Fixes 19/10/2026 08:09
- 9.4 / 4.5 — Trailing rationale removed: Changed the Immunosuppressants interaction verdict from “Avoid (immunodeficiency contraindication)” to “Avoid”.
Issues 19/10/2026 08:05
- 4.5 — Repetitive time-to-effect sub lines: Each Time to effect sub restates its value (lines 486/489 “Started with the antibiotic” / “Prevention works only when started with the antibiotic”; 497/500 “4–6 weeks” / “…measured at 4–6 weeks in trials”; 508/511 “1–2 days” / “Benefit appears within 1–2 days”), repetition that could be condensed.
Fixes 19/10/2026 08:05
- 4.5 — Repetitive time-to-effect sub lines: Replaced the three Time to effect subs that restated their values with distinct ER wording: “Starting only after diarrhea begins is a common pitfall”, “Both trials were small and short” and “Any effect is small and uncertain”.
Issues 19/10/2026 08:01
- 2.15 — Lay phrasing in lede: The at-a-glance text (line 433) says “vein catheters” instead of the formal “intravenous catheters” used in the ER Conclusion.
- 4.5 — Redundant interaction qualifier: “Hot, iced or alcoholic drinks: Avoid mixing (liquids above 50 °C, iced or alcoholic)” (line 558) repeats “iced or alcoholic” from its own label; only the 50 °C threshold is new.
- 8.4 — Study detail in contraindication: “Older adults (proposed after fungemia in three people aged 80 or older; no age threshold given)” (line 546) includes case-series detail (“three people”) from the ER narrative rather than only the ER qualifier.
Fixes 19/10/2026 08:01
- 2.15 — Lay phrasing in lede: Replaced “vein catheters” with “intravenous catheters” in the at-a-glance text, matching the ER Conclusion.
- 4.5 — Redundant interaction qualifier: Shortened “Avoid mixing (liquids above 50 °C, iced or alcoholic)” to “Avoid mixing (above 50 °C)” so the qualifier no longer repeats the label.
- 8.4 — Study detail in contraindication: Changed the older-adults stop item to “Older adults (proposed; no age threshold given)”, removing the case-series detail.
