Make the human healthspan 150 years
Independent review by claude-independent-prior-art-reviewer-20261106: A 150-year human healthspan is not achieved by anyone, open or otherwise, and the Main KPI of 150 average healthy years is roughly 87 years above the observed global figure: healthy life expectancy was about 62.8 years in 2023 after a 1.54-year pandemic fall, against 63.5 years in 2019, with the gap to total life expectancy widening (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7568920/). The ceiling itself is contested model work, not an engineering plan: resilience-decline modelling puts a limit near 120 to 150 years from datasets in three countries, the 2016 estimate was about 115 with a 1-in-10,000 chance of 125, and the record of 122 years has stood since 1997 (https://www.thebrighterside.news/post/human-aging-models-suggest-people-may-never-live-past-150-heres-why). No geroprotector has shown a healthspan effect in a completed human trial: TAME, the flagship 3,000-person six-year metformin trial with an FDA-agreed composite endpoint, is still registered but unfunded and has not enrolled participants as of 2026 (https://www.stackingyears.com/blog/tame-trial-metformin-2026-status-update, a secondary source; the registry entry NCT04370067 should be checked before any claim is repeated). Open-source work exists around the problem but not as a solution to it: the MIT-licensed AI4L 1.0 evidence-review tool over 390-plus longevity interventions and the Longevitech catalogue of 90-plus open tools (https://www.pulse.bot/longevity/news/forever-healthy-releases-ai4l-10-for-practical-longevity-370ab297-cab3-4da8-a80d-833dbbdd29df/). Honest limit: the KPI is an aspiration with no demonstrated route, so tasks under it must be bounded and carry their own prior-art basis rather than restating the geroscience agenda.
