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 value, tier item, gate item, marker row and cadence traces to ER lines 326-348, 145-207, 223-271, 301-306, 289-299, 379, 405-422.
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. 🟢  
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”). 🟢  
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. 🟢  
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 identifiers or brand names appear anywhere in the QRS.
1.6 The QRS does not introduce 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 🟢  
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 second-person address; “for topical users” is descriptive, not direct address.
2.7 The QRS is written in plain language, avoiding unnecessary medical jargon 🟢  
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. 🟢  
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 occurrence of “anti-aging” in the QRS.
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. 🟢  

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 present verbatim: Protocol (445), Time to effect (491), Benefits (533), Risk & Side Effects (611), Monitoring (639), Qualitative Assessment (759), Contraindications (563), Key Interactions (579), Marker/Target/Why (643-645); tier labels High/Medium/Low/Speculative in both Benefits and Risks.
3.2 All “” from the [qrs_template] are present in the the QRS. 🟢 59 data-qrs-var spans present, covering the full template variable set (header x4, at_a_glance, action_1-3 x3, time_1-3 x3, benefits x4, stop, caution, risks x4, marker_1-7 x3, monitoring_cadence, qualitative_item_1-4).
3.3 Spans that are not addressed in a checklist item are left unchanged 🟢  

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 relied on by the QRS is empty, so no empty-state phrasing is required.
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 “Metabolic protocol”, “Ocular protocol” and “Best time of day” match the ER bold labels at lines 326, 330 and 334; marker names match the ER biomarker table at lines 409-415.
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. 🟢 Character scan confirms no emoji code points anywhere in the file; the ER’s “Conflicted” warning emoji is 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. 🟢  

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 opens at line 2, immediately after <!doctype html> at 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. 🟢  
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, correctly, because its value “00:03” contains a colon.
5.5 The filename of the source ER is stated as “er_filename: [er_filename]” 🟢  
5.6 Version of the QRS.md file used to create the document is stated as “qrs_prompt_version: [Version of QRS.md]” 🟢  
5.7 Creation date and time of the document is stated as “qrs_creation_date: [YYYY-MMDD-HHMM]” (e.g., 2026-0501-1430) 🟢  
5.8 The nickname of the AI used to create the document is stated as “qrs_creator_ai_nickname: [qrs_creator_ai_nickname]” 🟢  
5.9 The nickname of the AI is just a single word model name without version, etc. (e.g., Opus, Sonnet, Grok, Gemini, ChatGPT) 🟢  
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 [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) 🟢  
5.12 The filename of the document is stated as “qrs_filename: [filename of this document]” 🟢

7.5 It DOES NOT cite specific trials (names, years, sample sizes, p-values) 🟢  
7.6 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 🟢  
8.2 [stop_items] represent the Contraindications from the ER 🟢 All four ER “Populations who should avoid trehalose” bullets (ER lines 303-306) are carried over.
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). 🟢 “(within 90 days)” and “(HbA1c above 8%)” preserved; “at the higher dose ranges” 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’s contraindication bullets contain 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. 🟢  
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 🟢  
9.2 [caution_items] represent the Key Interactions from the ER, excluding any that are already listed as Contraindications 🟢 Five of the six ER interaction bullets are carried; the broad-spectrum antibiotics bullet (ER line 289) is correctly excluded because it is already covered by the contraindication at QRS line 568.
9.3 Individual [caution_items] are formatted as <li></li> 🟢  
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. 🟢  
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). 🟢 Full example drug lists preserved for all five items, including “sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors such as empagliflozin”.
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 bullets contain 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. 🟢  
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.

10.2 The three sets of [action] items cover the three most important actionable implementation aspects from the ER Protocol section 🟢 Metabolic protocol, Ocular protocol and Best time of day are the three actionable aspects; the Vascular protocol is correctly not surfaced since the ER states practitioners rarely recommend it (ER line 328).
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 Therapeutic Protocol section supplies more than three actionable aspects; all three sets are used.

# Description Result Comments
11.1 The three sets of [time] items cover the three most important time-to-effect aspects from the ER 🟢  
11.2 The sets are picked and ordered by the magnitude of the related benefit 🟢 Ordered dry eye (High tier) then metabolic (Medium) then vascular (Low), matching the ER benefit tiers.
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 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. 🟢  
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 at line 379.
