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 content (at-a-glance, protocol, benefits, risks, gates, monitoring) traces to the ER.
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.	🟢	“evidence remains uneven and often low-certainty” mirrors ER Conclusion.
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 and cautions preserve ER strength.
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.	🟢	Cautions all drawn from ER Key Interactions bullets; no cross-category relabeling.
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.	🟢	QRS contains no citations, names, NCT IDs, or brands.
1.6	The QRS does not introduce new attributions.	🟢	No attributions present.

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.	🟢	Objective, evidence-graded framing matches ER.
2.2	The tone of the QRS is simultaneously expert, accessible, objective, and data-driven, but also empowering and encouraging	🟢	Balanced, accessible tone maintained.
2.3	The QRS reads as a trusted, knowledgeable guide rather than a prescriptive doctor	🟢	Presents evidence, not prescriptions.
2.4	The QRS avoids language that implies medical or clinical advice	🟢	No advice-giving language in generated content.
2.5	The QRS “presents information” instead of “providing guidance”, “recommending”, or “advising”	🟢	Information is presented, not recommended.
2.6	The QRS never addresses “the reader” directly — it presents evidence, not guidance	🟢	No second-person address.
2.7	The QRS is written in plain language, avoiding unnecessary medical jargon	🟢	Plain terms used throughout; technical terms limited.
2.8	Information is presented in a concise and very compact manner	🟢	Compact cells and bullets.
2.9	It DOES NOT address the reader directly	🟢	No “you”/”your” in the QRS.
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.	🟢	Framing suits proactive, optimization-oriented adults.
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.	🟢	Protocol detail assumes willingness to follow it.
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.	🟢	Not pitched to a passive general audience.
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.	🟢	Weighting reflects the target 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 “anti-aging” language present.
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.	🟢	Terms such as “erythema”, “biphasic dose ceiling”, “creatine kinase” used; “workout”/”ice” mirror ER usage.

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 and labels present verbatim.

4. Formatting

4.3	Labels are not paraphrased, abbreviated, or invented.	🟢	Labels faithful to ER.
4.4	The QRS DOES NOT use emoji indicators (no 🟩, 🟥, 🟨, etc.). Color and emphasis are conveyed through CSS and bold labels.	🟢	No emoji indicators present.
