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. 🟢 Claims in At-a-Glance, Protocol, Benefits, Risks, Gates, Monitoring, and Qualitative map to ER Conclusion, Protocol, Expected Benefits, Potential Risks, Key Interactions & Contraindications, and Monitoring.
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. 🟢 Preserves “Possible” on all-cause mortality; Speculative tier for longevity and γ-tocopherol displacement.
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. 🟢 Contraindications from Populations who should avoid; interactions from Key Interactions bullets; benefits/risks keep ER tiers.
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. 🟢 SELECT appears only in PSA why-text, matching ER Monitoring table.
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 🟢 At-a-Glance uses fatty liver, nerve damage, bleeding-type stroke; technical terms retained where they are ER labels or biomarkers.
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. 🟢 Emphasizes food-first / low-dose over casual high-dose prevention; disease-specific medium benefits retained.
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. 🟢 All template variable spans present; marker_# / qualitative_item_# expanded to concrete indices.
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 empty ER source sections requiring 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. 🟢 Qualitative Assessment and biomarker names match ER Monitoring labels; Protocol uses Dose/Form/Timing action labels as designed by the QRS structure.
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. 🟢 Content condensed to single-sheet structure with standard section budgets.

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). 🟢 Preserves ≥400 IU/day thresholds and high-dose context.
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 does not use ranking notation in contraindication items.
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. 🟢 Section populated; ER lists avoid populations.
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 Section is not empty.

9. Key Interactions

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. 🟢 Trailing Caution/Monitor elaborations stripped.
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). 🟢 e.g., apixaban, clopidogrel + aspirin preserved.
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 ER does not use ranking notation in interaction items.
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. 🟢 Section populated with interactions.
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 Section is not empty.

Pass rate 100.00%. No issues found.

Issues 11/08/2026 18:40

  1. 1.1 — Invented food RDA label: action_1_value uses “food RDA” (lines 447–448), which is not an ER term; ER states ~15 mg/day α-tocopherol equivalents (adult RDA) from food.

  2. 1.3 / 2.5 — Normative favored phrasing: at_a_glance ends with “are favored over casual high-dose use” (line 433), converting ER Conclusion “evidence favors …” into a bare preference/recommendation rather than presenting the evidence stance.

Fixes 11/08/2026 18:40

  1. 1.1 — Invented food RDA label: Changed action_1_value from “~15 mg/day (food RDA)” to “~15 mg/day (adult RDA)” to match ER dietary baseline wording.

  2. 1.3 / 2.5 — Normative favored phrasing: Rewrote at_a_glance closing clause from “Food-first intake … are favored over …” to “Evidence favors food-first intake … over …” so the sentence presents the ER Conclusion stance rather than a bare preference (still 60 words).

Issues 11/08/2026 18:28

  1. 1.2 — Cautious phrasing dropped: time_2_sub omits ER “may appear” for fatty-liver enzyme timing; qualitative_item_2 drops “Watch for”/”may blunt” wording from Monitoring/Exercise.

  2. 1.3 — Claims strengthened: Same fields present liver-enzyme change and training blunting as definite rather than possible/typical caveats from the ER.

Fixes 11/08/2026 18:31

  1. 1.2 — Cautious phrasing restored: Updated time_2_sub to “Liver enzyme changes may appear…” and qualitative_item_2 to “Possible blunted adaptation…” to match ER wording.

  2. 1.3 — Strengthened claims softened: Same two fields no longer present enzyme change or training blunting as definite outcomes.

Issues 11/08/2026 18:19

  1. 1.2 — Cautious mortality phrasing lost: At-a-glance groups all-cause mortality with other harms as undifferentiated “signals,” dropping the ER’s “Possible increase” caution from the medium-risk mortality finding.

  2. 1.3 — Softened deficiency and cancer claims: At-a-glance narrows ER “prevention and treatment” of deficiency to “treating” only, and softens SELECT’s increased prostate cancer finding into a generic “signal.”

  3. 7.4 — Clinical register in at-a-glance: Uses “neurologic injury,” “hemorrhagic stroke,” and “heart-failure signals” rather than plain-language equivalents.

Fixes 11/08/2026 18:22

  1. 1.2 — Cautious mortality phrasing: Restored “possible higher death rates” in at-a-glance so mortality keeps the ER’s cautious medium-risk framing instead of an undifferentiated “signals” bundle.

  2. 1.3 — Deficiency and cancer strength: Rewrote at-a-glance to “preventing and treating” deficiency (matching ER Conclusion) and “raised prostate cancer risk” rather than a softened generic signal.

  3. 7.4 — Plain-language at-a-glance: Replaced “neurologic injury,” “hemorrhagic stroke,” and “heart-failure signals” with “nerve damage,” “bleeding-type stroke,” and “heart-failure risk” (60 words).

Issues 11/08/2026 18:12

  1. 2.6 / 2.9 — Direct reader address: qualitative_item_2 uses imperative “Watch for blunted adaptation if high-dosing during heavy training blocks”, addressing the reader rather than only presenting evidence.
  2. 9.4 — Study detail in interaction: caution_items includes “Statins and niacin (historical simvastatin–niacin trials)”; the parenthetical is study detail that 9.4 requires stripped (keep “Statins and niacin”).

Fixes 11/08/2026 18:12

  1. 2.6 / 2.9 — Direct reader address: Rewrote qualitative_item_2 from imperative “Watch for blunted adaptation…” to “Blunted adaptation if high-dosing during heavy training blocks” so the sheet presents the signal without addressing the reader.
  2. 9.4 — Study detail in interaction: Stripped the study-detail parenthetical from the Key Interactions item, leaving “Statins and niacin”.

Issues 11/08/2026 18:03

  1. 1.1 / 12.3 — AMD benefit wording: benefits_low says “Age-related macular degeneration progression as part of AREDS formula,” which drops the reduced-progression direction and includes the AREDS study name (lines 528–529).
  2. 1.3 / 2.5 — Protocol advisory verbs: action_1_sub uses “avoid ≥400 IU…” and action_2_sub uses “Prefer d-α / mixed…” instead of presentational ER-aligned phrasing (lines 450–461).
  3. 2.7 — NASH unexpanded: time_2_label “NASH enzymes” and time_2_sub use “NASH” before any expansion; full term appears only later in Benefits (lines 504–500).

Fixes 11/08/2026 18:05

  1. 1.1 / 12.3 — AMD benefit wording: Rewrote benefits_low to “Slower age-related macular degeneration progression with combination formula” (removed AREDS study name; restored reduced-progression direction).
  2. 1.3 / 2.5 — Protocol advisory verbs: Replaced “avoid ≥400 IU…” with “rather than ≥400 IU…” in action_1_sub; removed leading “Prefer” from action_2_sub so form comparison is presentational.
  3. 2.7 — NASH unexpanded: Replaced first-use “NASH” in time_2_label/sub with “Fatty-liver enzymes” / “steatohepatitis protocols”; aligned marker_3_why and monitoring_cadence to “steatohepatitis protocols”.

Issues 11/08/2026 17:58

  1. 1.1 — Unsupported synthetic-harm grouping / AMD scope: At-a-glance groups mortality, bleeding stroke, and heart-failure under “high-dose synthetic forms,” but HOPE/HOPE-TOO heart failure used natural vitamin E and Miller/Schürks are not synthetic-only; Low Benefits states AMD progression without the ER’s AREDS-combination limitation.
  2. 1.3 — Softened harms / strengthened AMD: At-a-glance softens ER harm findings to “concerns”; AMD benefit omits AREDS-only scope and overstates tocopherol-alone support.
  3. 2.15 — Colloquial stroke wording: At-a-glance uses “bleeding stroke” instead of formal “hemorrhagic stroke.”
  4. 7.3 — At-a-glance fact not ER-supported: The synthetic-forms attribution for HF/mortality/stroke in at-a-glance is not backed by distinct ER passages.

Fixes 11/08/2026 18:00

  1. 1.1 / 7.3 — At-a-glance harm attribution: Rewrote at-a-glance to drop the incorrect “synthetic forms” grouping for mortality, stroke, and heart-failure signals; uses “High-dose prevention” and “signals” aligned with the ER.
  2. 1.3 — AMD benefit scope / harm tone: Added “as part of AREDS formula” to the Low AMD benefit (non-parenthetical) so the claim is not strengthened beyond the ER; replaced soft “concerns” with “signals” in at-a-glance.
  3. 2.15 — Hemorrhagic stroke wording: Replaced colloquial “bleeding stroke” with formal “hemorrhagic stroke” in at-a-glance.
  4. 1.1 — Neurologic injury wording: Restored “neurologic injury” (ER term) in place of abbreviated “nerve injury” in at-a-glance.

Issues 11/08/2026 17:51

  1. 4.2 — Non-verbatim ER labels: Key Interactions and Qualitative Assessment reuse ER **Label:** items but paraphrase several labels instead of copying them verbatim (statins/niacin parenthetical, orlistat order, mixed-antioxidant wording, and qualitative symptom labels).
  2. 4.3 — Paraphrased labels: Same labels are paraphrased, abbreviated, or reordered rather than kept as in the ER.

Fixes 11/08/2026 17:53

  1. 4.2 / 4.3 — Verbatim interaction labels: Restored ER bold labels for Key Interactions: “Statins and niacin (historical simvastatin–niacin trials)”, “Other fat-soluble vitamins and orlistat / bile-acid binders”, and “Mixed antioxidant "cocktails" at high dose”.
  2. 4.2 / 4.3 — Verbatim qualitative labels: Restored ER bold labels and content wording for Qualitative Assessment items: “Neurologic symptoms (deficiency)”, “Bruising / bleeding / stool color”, and “Cognitive/functional AD metrics” (with ADLs).

Issues 11/08/2026 17:42

  1. 1.3 — Strengthened conclusion phrasing: At-a-glance “beat casual high-dose supplements” strengthens the ER Conclusion’s “evidence favors … over open-ended high-dose α-only supplements.”
  2. 2.15 — Colloquial “beat”: Same at-a-glance clause uses consumer-grade “beat” instead of formal clinical phrasing.
  3. 9.2 — Chemo listed twice: Chemotherapy/radiotherapy appears in both Contraindications and Key Interactions; 9.2 requires excluding interactions already listed as contraindications.
  4. 12.3 — Low-tier qualifiers retained: benefits_low keeps “Modest support” and “as part of AREDS formula” rather than the bare key fact only.
  5. 12.4 — AREDS parenthetical kept: ER parenthetical “(as Part of AREDS Formula)” was not stripped from benefits_low.

Fixes 11/08/2026 17:44

  1. 1.3 / 2.15 — At-a-glance closing tone: Replaced colloquial “beat casual high-dose supplements” with formal “are favored over casual high-dose supplements,” matching the ER Conclusion without strengthening the claim.
  2. 9.2 — Duplicate chemo interaction: Removed “Chemotherapy and radiotherapy (high-dose antioxidants)” from Key Interactions because the same exposure is already listed under Contraindications.
  3. 12.3 / 12.4 — Low-tier benefit wording: Stripped “Modest support,” “as part of AREDS formula,” and “in supplemental trials” from benefits_low, leaving “Age-related macular degeneration progression; Endothelial function and C-reactive protein.”
