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 protocol cell, benefit, risk, contraindication, interaction, biomarker row and qualitative marker traces to a named ER passage (ER Therapeutic Protocol, Expected Benefits, Potential Risks & Side Effects, Key Interactions & Contraindications, Monitoring Protocol & Defining Success, Practical Considerations, 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. | 🟢 | No ER section carries an empty-state or hedged phrasing that the QRS surfaces; marker_10_target mirrors the ER’s “No established target; track the direction of change against the individual’s own baseline”. |
| 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 retain their absolute framing; speculative risks stay in the speculative tier; “neither shown superior” matches the ER’s “Neither approach has been shown superior”. |
| 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 only from the ER’s “Populations who should avoid Tai Chi” list, Key Interactions only from the ER’s interaction bullets; no Benefit-Modifying Factors or Risk-Modifying Factors content is promoted into a gate. |
| 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 only named program, “Moving for Better Balance”, appears in the ER Therapeutic Protocol for the same fact; no PMIDs, NCT identifiers, author names or years appear anywhere in the QRS. |
| 1.6 | The QRS does not introduce new attributions. | 🟢 | No investigator, institution or sponsor is named beyond what the ER carries. |
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. | 🟢 | Matches the ER’s measured, sceptical register, including carrying forward the ER’s conflict-of-interest caveat into at_a_glance. |
| 2.2 | The tone of the QRS is simultaneously expert, accessible, objective, and data-driven, but also empowering and encouraging | 🟢 | Quantified targets and doses are paired with plain-language framing; no alarmism and no promotional language. |
| 2.3 | The QRS reads as a trusted, knowledgeable guide rather than a prescriptive doctor | 🟢 | Content is stated as findings and protocols observed in trials, not as instructions issued to a patient. |
| 2.4 | The QRS avoids language that implies medical or clinical advice | 🟢 | No “should”, “must”, “recommend”, “advise” or equivalent appears in the document’s own voice. |
| 2.5 | The QRS “presents information” instead of “providing guidance”, “recommending”, or “advising” | 🟢 | Protocol, Monitoring and Qualitative Assessment cells are descriptive noun phrases and values throughout. |
| 2.6 | The QRS never addresses “the reader” directly — it presents evidence, not guidance | 🟢 | No second-person pronoun occurs anywhere in the rendered content. |
| 2.7 | The QRS is written in plain language, avoiding unnecessary medical jargon | 🟢 | Technical terms retained are load-bearing decision gates (“New York Heart Association Class IV”, “aortic stenosis”, “25-hydroxyvitamin D”); no avoidable jargon is introduced. |
| 2.8 | Information is presented in a concise and very compact manner | 🟢 | ER sentences are reduced to phrases; sub-cells run one to two clauses; parenthetical glosses are stripped. |
| 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. | 🟢 | Optimal functional ranges rather than conventional disease cutoffs are given for every biomarker, and the opportunity-cost risk is carried at Medium tier. |
| 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. | 🟢 | The 2 × 60 min weekly, 24-week supervised protocol is presented without softening the time commitment. |
| 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 “start small” or adherence-lowering framing; the full trial dose is the headline value. |
| 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. | 🟢 | risks_medium elevates insufficient strength and peak-aerobic stimulus — an opportunity cost specific to adults already training — exactly as the ER frames 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. | 🟢 | The string “anti-aging” does not occur; the title carries “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. | 🟢 | Clinical register is used throughout; the plain-language wording in at_a_glance is mandated by item 7.4 for that region only. |
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 twelve fixed strings match the template byte-for-byte (lines 445, 491, 535, 570, 587, 627, 652, 656–658, 796 and the four tier labels). |
| 3.2 | All “…” from the [qrs_template] are present in the the QRS. | 🟢 | 74 data-qrs-var spans present: page_title, header_topic, header_subline_date, header_subline_model, at_a_glance, action_1–3 × label/value/sub, time_1–3 × label/value/sub, benefits × 4, stop_items, caution_items, risks × 4, marker_1–11 × name/target/why, monitoring_cadence, qualitative_item_1–7. |
| 3.3 | Spans that are not addressed in a checklist item are left unchanged | 🟢 | website="evidence_review", website="audit" and website="full_review" are unchanged; a diff of the head/CSS block against the template shows no modification outside the 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 mapped into the QRS is empty; every benefit tier, risk tier, gate and monitoring row has ER content. |
| 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 evidence-based dose”, “Style selection”, “Conventional approach — therapeutic tai ji quan”) and all nine interaction labels reproduce the ER bold labels, with only the definitional glosses trimmed inside parentheses as item 9.5 permits. |
| 4.3 | Labels are not paraphrased, abbreviated, or invented. | 🟢 | No label is reworded or newly coined; every drug-example list inside a label is retained in full. |
| 4.4 | The QRS DOES NOT use emoji indicators (no 🟩, 🟥, 🟨, etc.). Color and emphasis are conveyed through CSS and bold labels. | 🟢 | A full-file Unicode scan returns no emoji code points; tiering is conveyed by the <strong> labels and the CSS palettes. |
| 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 ER’s minimum informative form — glosses stripped, sentences reduced to phrases, mechanisms and citations dropped — with no extraneous content that could be cut without violating the completeness requirements of items 8.2, 9.2, 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 comment opens on line 2 immediately after <!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; the preceding label text sits 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. | 🟢 | Enclosed in an HTML comment; none of its values are echoed by any visible element. |
| 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. | 🟢 | All eight scalar values are unquoted and trimmed; duration: "00:04" is quoted because it contains a colon. |
| 5.5 | The filename of the source ER is stated as “er_filename: [er_filename]” | 🟢 | Line 4: er_filename: tai_chi_2026-0902-0141_Opus_ER.md. |

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., & for &) |
🟢 | Line 22: Tai Chi for Health & Longevity - Quick Reference Sheet, matching ER canonical_topic with the ampersand encoded. |

| 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 carries only the title and the template subline; the ER’s “Also known as:” line is correctly omitted. |
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 — the replicated benefit set, the conflict-of-interest caveat, what tai chi does not deliver, and the time cost. |
| 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. | 🟢 | Benefit list, “groups with a stake in the result”, “builds no muscle or peak fitness” and “two supervised hours weekly for several months” each map to a separate Conclusion sentence. |
| 7.4 | It DOES NOT use acronyms or technical classifications that require specialist knowledge, uses plain-language terms instead | 🟢 | Uses “thinking and mood” for cognition and affect, “peak fitness” for peak aerobic capacity; no acronym or clinical-register term appears. |
| 7.5 | It DOES NOT cite specific trials (names, years, sample sizes, p-values) | 🟢 | No trial, author, year or sample size is named. |
| 7.6 | It DOES NOT cite effect sizes, relative risks, or statistical results | 🟢 | Directional wording only (“fewer falls”, “lower blood pressure”); no numeric effect estimate or interval. |
8. Contraindications
| # | Description | Result | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|
| 8.1 | The section is derived from the ER Key Interactions & Contraindications section |
🟢 | All seven items come from the ER’s “Populations who should avoid Tai Chi:” list inside that section. |
| 8.2 | [stop_items] represent the Contraindications from the ER | 🟢 | Seven ER bullets map one-to-one onto seven <li> items with no additions or omissions. |
| 8.3 | Individual [stop_items] are formatted as <li></li> | 🟢 | Lines 573–582: seven discrete <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. | 🟢 | Definitional glosses (“heart-related chest pain…”, “a narrowed main heart valve”, “a swollen, fluid-filled knee joint”) are stripped; no dash-trailing 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). | 🟢 | “within 6 weeks”, “within 4 weeks”, “New York Heart Association Class IV”, “above 180/110 mmHg” and “within 6 weeks of surgery” 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 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 seven such populations and the section is correctly populated rather than 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 nine items come from the ER’s interaction bullets in that section. |
| 9.2 | [caution_items] represent the Key Interactions from the ER, excluding any that are already listed as Contraindications | 🟢 | All nine ER interaction bullets are present; none duplicates a contraindication. |
| 9.3 | Individual [caution_items] are formatted as <li></li> | 🟢 | Lines 590–617: nine discrete <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 is reduced to its label plus a one-to-four-word consequence; the ER’s mitigation sentences are dropped. The single em-dash occurs inside the ER’s own bold label (“Other interventions — resistance and high-intensity training”), not as a trailing clause. |
| 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 21 named example agents are retained across the eight parenthesised labels; only the definitional prefixes (“oral medications that make the pancreas release more insulin —”, “sleep-inducing medications —”, “medications that slow blood clotting —”) are 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 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 nine such interactions and the section is correctly populated rather than 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 trace to the ER Therapeutic Protocol bullets on dose, style selection and the conventional/integrative approaches. |
| 10.2 | The three sets of [action] items cover the three most important actionable implementation aspects from the ER Protocol section |
🟢 | Dose (2 × 60 min weekly, 24 weeks), style choice (Yang 24-posture) and programme variant (Moving for Better Balance vs. traditional whole form) are the three bullets that determine what a practitioner actually does. |
| 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 more than three actionable aspects; 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 cells carry 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 | 🟢 | Balance, the pain/sleep/blood-pressure cluster and cognition are exactly the domains the ER Practical Considerations time-to-effect bullet names. |
| 11.2 | The sets are picked and ordered by the magnitude of the related benefit | 🟢 | Balance leads, matching the ER’s strongest and most replicated signal (falls and balance), followed by the mid-tier pain/sleep/blood-pressure cluster, then the duration-dependent cognitive effect. |
| 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 supplies three or more distinct time-to-effect aspects; 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 cells carry ER-derived content, including the 24-vs-12-week fibromyalgia comparison from the ER Therapeutic Protocol. |
| 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, so the section is correctly retained. |
12. Benefits
| # | Description | Result | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|
| 12.1 | The section is derived from the ER Expected Benefits section |
🟢 | All eighteen entries map to the ER Expected Benefits sub-headings in the same tier and the same order. |
| 12.2 | Key variables are [benefits_high], [benefits_medium], [benefits_low], [benefits_speculative] | 🟢 | All four spans are present and populated (lines 537, 546, 552, 558). |
| 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 entry is the ER sub-heading reduced to a bare outcome phrase; no magnitude, confidence interval or mechanism is carried. |
| 12.4 | Parenthetical content — including effect sizes, sample notes, mechanistic hints, and example studies — is stripped, NOT preserved. | 🟢 | No parentheses appear in any benefit tier; the ER’s “⚠️ Conflicted” markers and magnitude paragraphs are all dropped. |
| 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. | N/A | All four benefit tiers carry ER content, so no span needs hiding. |
13. Risks
| # | Description | Result | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|
| 13.1 | The section is derived from the ER Potential Risks & Side Effects section |
🟢 | All six entries map to the ER Potential Risks & Side Effects sub-headings in the same tier and order. |
| 13.2 | Key variables are [risks_high], [risks_medium], [risks_low], [risks_speculative] | 🟢 | All four spans are present and populated (lines 629, 632, 638, 641). |
| 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. | 🟢 | Risk-difference figures, confidence intervals and the “the disease, not the practice” reasoning from the ER are all omitted; entries are bare outcome phrases. |
| 13.4 | Parenthetical content — including frequencies, severity grades, sample notes, mechanistic hints, and example studies — is stripped, NOT preserved. | 🟢 | No parentheses appear in any risk tier; the ER’s “⚠️ Conflicted” marker on advanced heart failure 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. | N/A | All four risk tiers carry ER content, so no span needs hiding. |
14. Monitoring
| # | Description | Result | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|
| 14.1 | The section is derived from the ER Monitoring section |
🟢 | Marker names, targets and rationales all derive from the ER Monitoring Protocol & Defining Success biomarker table. |
| 14.2 | All measurable/quantifiable biomarkers from the Monitoring section are listed |
🟢 | All 11 ER table rows are present in order: blood pressure, waist circumference, fasting glucose, glycated hemoglobin, hs-CRP, lipid panel, 25-hydroxyvitamin D, bone mineral density T-score, resting heart rate, heart-rate variability, Timed Up and Go. Targets match the ER’s optimal functional ranges exactly. |
| 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 787–790 reproduce the ER’s cadence paragraph: functional tests at 4 and 12 weeks, blood pressure monthly, blood chemistry at 3 months then every 6–12 months, bone density every 2 years. |

Issues 02/09/2026 06:32
Pass rate 100.00%. No issues found.
Issues 02/09/2026 06:24
- 4.5 — Sheet overflows one A4 page: The Monitoring table (11 rows, lines 665-831) and the Key Interactions gate (9 items, lines 594-630) alone consume roughly 80% of the printable A4 height, and together with the header, At-A-Glance, Protocol panel, Benefits, Risks and the 7-item Qualitative Assessment the sheet runs to roughly two pages; no per-section condensation was applied.
Fixes 02/09/2026 06:24
- 4.5 — Monitoring rationales condensed: Rewrote all eleven
marker_#_whycells andmarker_6_target/marker_10_targetas single short phrases (e.g. “The best-evidenced laboratory effect of tai chi” → “Best-evidenced laboratory effect”), cutting the Monitoring table from roughly 23 wrapped lines to 14 without dropping any of the ER’s eleven biomarkers. - 4.5 — Key Interactions tightened: Trimmed the consequence clause on each of the nine interaction items to its key fact (e.g. “hypoglycemia at unchanged doses” → “hypoglycemia”, “a minor in-class fall becomes a bleeding event” → “bleeding on a fall”), while keeping every ER bold label and example drug list intact.
- 4.5 — Qualitative Assessment shortened: Reduced all seven qualitative markers to one rendered line each (e.g. “Number of near-falls and stumbles per month, which changes before the fall rate does” → “Near-falls and stumbles per month”).
- 4.5 — Protocol and Time-to-effect subtexts condensed: Shortened the three
action_#_suband threetime_#_subcells (e.g. “At two sessions weekly, the earliest point at which trials detect change.” → “At two sessions weekly; earliest detected change.”), saving three rendered lines in the protocol panel. - 4.5 — Benefits, Risks and At-A-Glance trimmed: Removed redundant wording from
benefits_high(“Reduced rate of falls” → “Reduced falls”, “improved global cognitive function” → “improved global cognition”),risks_speculativeandat_a_glance(“Cost is time: about two supervised hours” → “Cost is about two supervised hours”), which also brought the At-A-Glance to 53 words. - 4.5 — Monitoring cadence compacted: Shortened the cadence line to “blood chemistry at 3 months, then every 6–12 months” while preserving every interval the ER states.
