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 doses to ER Therapeutic Protocol, time-to-effect to ER Practical Considerations, benefit/risk tiers to the ER tier headings, all 14 markers and 7 qualitative items to the ER monitoring table and list.
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. 🟢 e.g. action_2_sub “1000 mg daily has been used for eight weeks without incident” and action_3_sub “not trial-derived, and dose accuracy is poor” mirror ER lines 342 and 344.
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 (line 572 “Pregnant and breastfeeding women” under the Contraindications gate); no tier was promoted or demoted.
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 draw solely from ER “Populations who should avoid Shilajit”; caution_items solely from the ER interaction bullets. No Benefit-Modifying Factors or Risk-Modifying Factors content appears.
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. 🟢 The QRS carries no PMIDs, NCT identifiers, author names or brand names at all (PrimaVie, Natreon, ConsumerLab are all absent).
1.6 The QRS does not introduce new attributions. 🟢 Only generic ER-sourced references (“the strength trial”, “the higher arm of the bone trial”, “the hormone, bone and skin trials”) appear, matching ER lines 340–342.

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, sceptical register carried over from the ER Conclusion into at_a_glance.
2.2 The tone of the QRS is simultaneously expert, accessible, objective, and data-driven, but also empowering and encouraging 🟢 Marker targets and doses are concrete and actionable while the framing stays neutral.
2.3 The QRS reads as a trusted, knowledgeable guide rather than a prescriptive doctor 🟢 Statements are descriptive (“The dose used in the hormone, bone and skin trials”), not imperative.
2.4 The QRS avoids language that implies medical or clinical advice 🟢 monitoring_cadence reports the ER’s own cadence wording rather than instructing the reader.
2.5 The QRS “presents information” instead of “providing guidance”, “recommending”, or “advising” 🟢 No occurrence of “recommend”, “advise”, “should” or “consult” anywhere in the document body.
2.6 The QRS never addresses “the reader” directly — it presents evidence, not guidance 🟢 No second-person pronoun (“you”, “your”) occurs in the file.
2.7 The QRS is written in plain language, avoiding unnecessary medical jargon 🟢 Technical terms are either unavoidable marker names or glossed as in the ER (“broken shinbone”, “filtration rate”).
2.8 Information is presented in a concise and very compact manner 🟢 Gate items, benefit and risk lines carry no mechanistic rationale or citations.
2.9 It DOES NOT address the reader directly 🟢 Confirmed by the same second-person scan as 2.6.
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 marker ranges and lot-level contamination framing address exactly this audience.
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. 🟢 A 14-marker monitoring panel with a baseline-plus-12-week cadence assumes a high-effort audience.
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. 🟢 Content depth (transferrin saturation, urinary arsenic and thallium) is well beyond general-population material.
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 foregrounds product quality as the dominant variable, the decision-relevant point for this audience.
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” (line 22).
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 route-of-administration colloquialisms; “shinbone” and “rice-grain-sized portion” are the ER’s own wording (ER lines 480 and 344).

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 headings match the template byte-for-byte (lines 446, 493, 542, 569, 591, 619, 641, 645–647, 850); tier labels “Medium”, “Low”, “Speculative” retained verbatim.
3.2 All “…” from the [qrs_template] are present in the the QRS. 🟢 All 27 named spans present; marker_#_* expanded to 1–14 and qualitative_item_# to 1–7.
3.3 Spans that are not addressed in a checklist item are left unchanged 🟢 Diff against the template shows changes confined to frontmatter values and checklist-governed spans; website="evidence_review", website="audit" and website="full_review" are 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” N/A No ER section is empty; the unpopulated benefit/risk tiers are governed by 12.5 and 13.5, which mandate display:none instead of 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. 🟢 “Standard regimen”, “Higher-dose variant”, “Traditional resin approach” match ER lines 340, 342, 344; interaction labels match ER lines 293–309.
4.3 Labels are not paraphrased, abbreviated, or invented. 🟢 Marker names are verbatim from the ER biomarker table; time-to-effect labels use the ER’s own terms from line 399.
4.4 The QRS DOES NOT use emoji indicators (no 🟩, 🟥, 🟨, etc.). Color and emphasis are conveyed through CSS and bold labels. 🟢 Scan for 🟩/🟥/🟨/⚠ returned nothing; the ER’s “⚠️ Conflicted” markers were correctly dropped.
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 free-text span is condensed to one or two lines; the remaining length is driven by the completeness requirements of 14.2 and 15.2.

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.
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. 🟢 Opening --- at line 3, closing --- at line 13.
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. 🟢 Enclosed in an HTML comment; no frontmatter value is echoed into visible markup other than the legitimately rendered date and model name.
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: "00:04" is quoted, correctly so because it contains a colon.
5.5 The filename of the source ER is stated as “er_filename: [er_filename]” 🟢 Line 4: er_filename: shilajit_2026-0913-0716_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: 26.9.11, matching the QRS.md badge.
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: 2026-0913-0848.
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” = nickname plus version, no context-window or other qualifier.
5.12 The filename of the document is stated as “qrs_filename: [filename of this document]” 🟢 Line 9 matches the file’s actual name 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; 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: Shilajit for Health &amp; Longevity - Quick Reference Sheet.
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: Shilajit for Health &amp; Longevity, matching ER frontmatter canonical_topic.
6.3 [header_subline_date] is set to [qrs_creation_date reformatted as MM/DD/YYYY] 🟢 Line 421: 09/13/2026, correct reformatting of 2026-0913-0848.
6.4 [header_subline_model] is set to [qrs_creator_ai_fullname] 🟢 Line 425: Opus 5, identical to 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 subline; the ER’s “Also known as” line was 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 🟢 Compresses all three Conclusion paragraphs (ER lines 480–484) and closes on the execution-relevant point, product quality.
7.2 [at_a_glance] is no longer than 60 words 🟢 55 words.
7.3 Every fact in [at_a_glance] is supported by a distinct passage in the ER. 🟢 Three named signals → ER line 480; short-term tolerance → ER line 482; toxic metals and quality as dominant variable → ER lines 482 and 484.
7.4 It DOES NOT use acronyms or technical classifications that require specialist knowledge, uses plain-language terms instead 🟢 No acronyms; “menopause”, “testosterone” and “shinbone” are everyday terms.
7.5 It DOES NOT cite specific trials (names, years, sample sizes, p-values) 🟢 Only the generic “Controlled trials point to…”; no author, year, n or p-value.
7.6 It DOES NOT cite effect sizes, relative risks, or statistical results 🟢 No percentages, ranges or statistics appear.

8. Contraindications

# Description Result Comments
8.1 The section is derived from the ER Key Interactions & Contraindications section 🟢 All six items map to ER lines 313–318 (“Populations who should avoid Shilajit”).
8.2 [stop_items] represent the Contraindications from the ER 🟢 All six ER avoid-populations are present, none added.
8.3 Individual [stop_items] are formatted as <li></li> 🟢 Lines 572–586: six well-formed <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. 🟢 Em-dash clauses stripped from the pregnancy and under-18 items; “the current reference value for elevation” stripped from the blood-lead item.
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 retained: ferritin >300 ng/mL with TSAT >45%, blood lead ≥3.5 µg/dL, PSA >4 ng/mL, CKD stage 3b with the <45 mL/min/1.73 m² parenthetical, age <18.
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 avoid list uses spelled-out comparators (“above”, “at or above”, “or worse”); no bare ranking symbols occur.
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 does identify such populations and the section is correspondingly populated.
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 nine items map one-to-one onto ER lines 293–309.
9.2 [caution_items] represent the Key Interactions from the ER, excluding any that are already listed as Contraindications 🟢 No item duplicates a contraindication; all nine ER interaction bullets are represented.
9.3 Individual [caution_items] are formatted as <li></li> 🟢 Lines 594–609: nine well-formed <li> elements.
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 “Caution”/”Monitor” verdicts, mechanisms and mitigation sentences are all stripped; the acid-reducer item correctly drops the text after the em-dash.
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). 🟢 All named drug lists preserved; the bisphosphonate parenthetical trimmed to “(alendronate, risedronate)” without losing the named examples.
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 parentheticals are plain comma-separated drug lists; no ranking notation occurs.
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 identifies nine such interactions and all are carried over.
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 🟢 The three cells correspond to the first three bullets of ER Therapeutic Protocol (lines 340–344).
10.2 The three sets of [action] items cover the three most important actionable implementation aspects from the ER Protocol section 🟢 Standard regimen, higher-dose variant and traditional resin approach are the three dosing decisions; the remaining ER bullets 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 supplies three or more actionable aspects and all three sets are populated.
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 450–488) hold substantive ER-derived 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 🟢 Bone density, hormones and collagen/strength markers are exactly the three windows named in ER line 399.
11.2 The sets are picked and ordered by the magnitude of the related benefit 🟢 Bone density and testosterone are the ER’s Medium-tier benefits and lead; collagen/strength markers, tied to the Low-tier strength finding, come last.
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 names three distinct time-to-effect aspects and all three sets are populated.
11.4 All used [time_#label], [time#value], [time#_sub] items are filled with meaningful content derived from the ER. 🟢 All nine spans (lines 499–534) carry ER-sourced content; “nothing meaningful is assessable before three months” is verbatim from ER line 399.
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 does provide time-to-effect information, so the section is retained.

12. Benefits

# Description Result Comments
12.1 The section is derived from the ER Expected Benefits section 🟢 Medium, Low and Speculative lines reproduce the ER’s own benefit headings (ER lines 147–203).
12.2 Key variables are [benefits_high], [benefits_medium], [benefits_low], [benefits_speculative] 🟢 All four spans present at lines 544, 545, 551 and 557.
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. 🟢 Each tier is a semicolon-separated list of bare benefit names; no magnitudes, p-values, trial descriptions or PMIDs carried over.
12.4 Parenthetical content — including effect sizes, sample notes, mechanistic hints, and example studies — is stripped, NOT preserved. 🟢 No parentheses appear in any benefits span.
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. 🟢 Line 544: benefits_high carries style="display: none" with no content, matching the ER’s “No benefit reaches High” (ER line 143).

13. Risks

# Description Result Comments
13.1 The section is derived from the ER Potential Risks & Side Effects section 🟢 Low and Speculative lines reproduce the ER’s seven risk headings (ER lines 237–273).
13.2 Key variables are [risks_high], [risks_medium], [risks_low], [risks_speculative] 🟢 All four spans present at lines 621, 622, 623 and 630.
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. 🟢 Bare risk names only; the thallium figures, case-report details and mechanistic glosses from the ER are omitted.
13.4 Parenthetical content — including frequencies, severity grades, sample notes, mechanistic hints, and example studies — is stripped, NOT preserved. 🟢 No parentheses appear in any risks span; the ER’s pseudohyperaldosteronism parenthetical is dropped.
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. 🟢 Lines 621–622: both risks_high and risks_medium are empty with style="display: none", matching ER lines 229 and 233.

14. Monitoring

# Description Result Comments
14.1 The section is derived from the ER Monitoring section 🟢 The table reproduces the ER Monitoring Protocol & Defining Success biomarker table (ER lines 431–446).
14.2 All measurable/quantifiable biomarkers from the Monitoring section are listed 🟢 All 14 ER biomarkers appear as marker_1 through marker_14, with targets and “why” text matching the ER cells.
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. 🟢 Lines 839–844 reproduce the ER’s cadence paragraph (ER lines 427 and 429): baseline, 12 weeks, then every 6 months, with the glucose and bone-scan caveats.

15. Qualitative Assessment

# Description Result Comments
15.1 The section is derived from the ER Monitoring section 🟢 Items map to the ER’s “Qualitative markers worth tracking alongside the laboratory work” list (ER lines 450–456).
15.2 All subjective/qualitative biomarkers from the Monitoring section are listed 🟢 All seven ER qualitative markers appear verbatim as qualitative_item_1 through qualitative_item_7.

Issues 13/09/2026 08:55

  1. 4.5 — Monitoring target cell not condensed: marker_14_target (lines 825–828) carries the ER’s full 141-character explanatory sentence, roughly five wrapped lines in a 9pt table cell, where every other target cell is 42 characters or fewer — un-condensed against the one-page budget.

Fixes 13/09/2026 08:55

  1. 4.5 — Monitoring target cell condensed: Shortened marker_14_target from “No established target for supplement users; the informative measure is the change from an individual’s own pre-supplement baseline” to “No established target; change from own pre-supplement baseline”, bringing the cell in line with the other target cells and the one-page budget while keeping the ER’s cautious “no established target” framing.
