GLP-1 pharmacy index

Even after the FDA declared the GLP-1 shortages resolved (tirzepatide Dec 2024, semaglutide Feb 2025), patients still hit localized stockouts of specific doses and face cash prices that swing from roughly $199 to $1,000+ per month depending on whether they buy via LillyDirect, NovoCare, Costco, Walmart, or a retail pharmacy. There is no neutral, normalized, machine-readable index that tracks dose-level availability and the cheapest legitimate price for a given drug, dose, and ZIP at a point in time.

Drug-price transparency for self-funded health plans

Self-funded employers pay pharmacy claims through PBM contracts whose spreads, rebates, and formulary steering they cannot see, routinely overpaying for drugs with cheaper therapeutic equivalents.

Launch angles

Use specificity as the wedge: one buyer, one workflow, one measurable result.
Show proof earlier than broad competitors with before-and-after examples and small pilot data.
Keep implementation lighter than incumbent suites or generic AI assistants.

Risks to validate

Pharmacy stock data is not openly published — chains like CVS and Walgreens expose availability only in their own apps, so the index must rely on crowdsourced and scraped signals that can be stale, incomplete, or blocked by terms of service.
Regulatory and liability exposure: showing or routing to GLP-1 sources touches HIPAA, state pharmacy law, drug-advertising rules, and the post-shortage crackdown on compounded GLP-1s — surfacing illegitimate or compounded sources could create legal risk.
Incumbents already occupy the niche: Ro (a well-funded telehealth company) offers a free supply tracker as a funnel, and Medfinder offers a paid concierge stock-finding service, so a standalone index must out-execute on data freshness and the B2B feed.
Demand is shortage-driven and could soften further as supply fully normalizes and GLP-1 pills arrive, compressing the consumer pain point and the window for the data business.
Well-funded benefits-analytics incumbents are racing into the same disclosure data.
PBM contract complexity means findings must survive pushback from sophisticated counterparties.
