Compounded Sourcing Platform Index

What 12 compounded-medication sourcing platforms publish to licensed clinics, scored on 7 weighted operational criteria. Every score was read from the platform's own public pages on 31 August 2026 (the verified_at column). Two more platforms in this market are listed with the reason they were not scored.

Clinic Partner Guide, a B2B research and comparison publication for clinics comparing suppliers, publishes the index at https://clinicpartnerguide.com/sourcing-platform-index/?utm_source=cpg-desk&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=2026-09-26-asset-dataset-listings. This repository holds a copy of the files published there on that date. The source page is canonical.

The index records what platforms publish, not how they perform. It makes no clinical assessment: it does not assess clinical quality, formulation quality or patient outcomes, and it contains no clinical guidance.

Disclosure

Avanta Pharma Group is the highest-scoring platform in this version (5.0 of 5, scored 2026-08-31).

Disclosure: Clinic Partner Guide has a commercial affiliation with Avanta Pharma Group. Avanta is scored on the same criteria as every platform in the index, and no payment changes a score, a rank or an award. See our commercial disclosure: https://clinicpartnerguide.com/commercial-disclosure/

Who it is for

Clinic owners, med spa and weight-management operators, practice managers, procurement leads and the consultants who advise them, when shortlisting suppliers; and researchers and reporters who cover clinic procurement.

What is in it

  • 12 scored platforms: 5 multi-pharmacy marketplaces, 4 directories, 1 GPO or buying network, 1 quote engine and 1 direct supply partner.
  • 2 platforms listed as not scored (category Not scored), with the reason in each _reason column.
  • 84 criterion cells (12 platforms, 7 criteria). 12 are recorded as not stated: 6 in turnaround, 5 in pricing transparency, 1 in security posture.
  • All 84 criterion cells cite a published page.

How the scores are made

Summary of the published methodology (v1.0, updated August 2026): https://clinicpartnerguide.com/methodology/?utm_source=cpg-desk&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=2026-09-26-asset-dataset-listings

  • Weights: ordering workflow, pricing transparency and direct accountability 20% each; multi-state coverage, turnaround, security posture and onboarding speed 10% each.
  • Scale 0 to 5. overall_of_5 is the weighted mean of the criteria a platform published enough to be judged on.
  • A criterion neither published nor confirmed to Clinic Partner Guide is recorded as unknown and excluded from the weighted average rather than scored low. Two overall scores can therefore rest on different amounts of evidence, so read criteria_evidenced_pct beside overall_of_5. In this version it runs from 60% to 100%.
  • The methodology also accepts a fact a platform confirms directly to Clinic Partner Guide, recorded with the date and the person who confirmed it. In this version every cell rests on a published page.
  • Scores are a snapshot of what each platform published on the date shown. Platform pages can change after 31 August 2026.

Regulatory context

FDA's shortage listings for tirzepatide (December 2024) and semaglutide (February 2025) have ended, and FDA has since acted against marketing of compounded GLP-1s; what a 503A pharmacy may compound is patient-specific and varies by state.
