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. | 🟢 | |
| 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. | 🟢 | |
| 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 | 🟢 | |
| 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. | 🟢 | |
| 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” | 🟢 | |
| 3.2 | All “…” from the [qrs_template] are present in the the QRS. | 🟢 | |
| 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 mapped ER section is empty. |
| 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. | 🟢 | |
| 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. 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

| 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 | ER contraindications do not use 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 | Contraindications section is not empty. |

Issues 23/08/2026 07:45
Pass rate 100.00%. No issues found.
Issues 23/08/2026 07:30
- 14.2 — Missing monitoring biomarkers: ER Monitoring baseline prose names fasting glucose and a coronary artery calcium scan; the QRS monitoring table (lines 603–700) lists only the nine biomarker-table rows and omits those two measurable items.
Fixes 23/08/2026 07:30
- 14.2 — Missing monitoring biomarkers: Added fasting glucose and coronary artery calcium scan rows to the monitoring table, using ER baseline-panel wording for target and why.
Issues 23/08/2026 07:26
-
11.2 — Time-to-effect order: Time-to-effect cells are ordered 1 year (event curves), then years (absolute benefit), then 4–6 weeks (LDL/apoB) around lines 479–513. The years-long absolute event reduction is the largest-magnitude related benefit and should lead; the 4–6 week particle drop is a surrogate, not an Expected Benefit.
-
12.3 — Benefit qualifier retained:
benefits_low(line 528) is “Possible lower dementia risk”. “Possible” is an evidence-strength qualifier; the Low tier already encodes that, so 12.3 requires stripping it. -
13.3 — Risk frequency qualifiers:
risks_high(line 577) retains “rare” and “severe” in “including rare severe muscle breakdown” and “small” in “a small rise in blood sugar”. Section 13 treats frequencies and qualifiers as redundant detail.
Fixes 23/08/2026 07:26
-
11.2 — Time-to-effect order: Swapped the first two time-to-effect cells so Absolute benefit / Years leads, then Event curves / About 1 year, then LDL/apoB / 4–6 weeks.
-
12.3 — Benefit qualifier retained: Changed
benefits_lowfrom “Possible lower dementia risk” to “Lower dementia risk”. -
13.3 — Risk frequency qualifiers: Stripped “rare”, “severe”, and “small” from
risks_high, leaving “Muscle symptoms, including muscle breakdown; new-onset type 2 diabetes and a rise in blood sugar; …”.
Issues 23/08/2026 07:09
- 1.3 — Dropped clinical qualifier: Protocol
action_1_sub(QRS line 450) omits “clinical” from the ER Therapeutic Protocol phrase “after clinical atherosclerotic disease or LDL cholesterol of 190 mg/dL or higher”, which slightly broadens the high-intensity setting. - 4.3 — Invented time labels: Time-to-effect labels “Vascular events” and “Absolute event benefit” (QRS lines 483 and 494) are invented; the ER Practical Considerations sentence uses “Event curves” and “absolute benefit”.
Fixes 23/08/2026 07:09
- 1.3 — Dropped clinical qualifier: Restored “clinical” in protocol
action_1_sub, from “after atherosclerotic disease” to “after clinical atherosclerotic disease”, matching the ER Therapeutic Protocol bullet. - 4.3 — Invented time labels: Replaced time-to-effect
time_1_label“Vascular events” with “Event curves” andtime_2_label“Absolute event benefit” with “Absolute benefit”, matching the ER Practical Considerations wording.
Issues 23/08/2026 06:57
- 12.3 — Qualifier in high benefits:
benefits_high(QRS line 522) appends the body qualifier “uncertain at low 10-year risk” to lower all-cause mortality. The ER heading is “Lower All-Cause Mortality”; 12.3 allows only the key fact, with no qualifiers.
Fixes 23/08/2026 06:57
- 12.3 — Qualifier in high benefits: Removed “, uncertain at low 10-year risk” from
benefits_high. The high-tier line now states only the two ER headings: fewer heart attacks, clot-type strokes, artery-opening procedures, and cardiovascular deaths; lower all-cause mortality.
Issues 23/08/2026 06:35
-
1.2 / 1.3 — All-cause mortality overstated: Benefits High states “lower all-cause mortality” without the ER’s cautious “⚠️ Conflicted” / “uncertain at low 10-year risk” framing, which strengthens the claim.
-
9.5 — St. John’s wort agents dropped: Key Interactions lists only “St. John’s wort” and omits the ER’s named agents simvastatin and atorvastatin that determine whether the interaction applies.
-
13.3 — Risk qualifiers and mechanism retained: Speculative risk keeps “from coenzyme Q10 depletion beyond muscle symptoms”; Medium risk keeps the qualifier “Slightly higher” instead of the key fact alone.
Fixes 23/08/2026 06:35
-
1.2 / 1.3 — All-cause mortality phrasing: Benefits High now reads “lower all-cause mortality, uncertain at low 10-year risk” instead of an unqualified mortality claim.
-
9.5 — St. John’s wort agents: Key Interactions St. John’s wort item now names simvastatin and atorvastatin as “(simvastatin, atorvastatin)”.
-
13.3 — Risk qualifiers stripped: Medium risk is now “Hemorrhagic stroke risk after prior stroke”; speculative risk is now “Lasting mitochondrial injury” without the CoQ10 mechanism clause.
