Watch-out flag

A per-record note in the dataset for a caveat that a price alone cannot carry — a surcharge, a verification gap, an unusually sticky term — rendered as a callout on the provider’s pages and repeated in head-to-heads. The flags are part of the record, not editorial garnish, and they regenerate with everything else.

Seen against the live index: with verified all-in prices spanning $215 to $597 for tirzepatide and $133 to $348 for semaglutide as of 2026-08-09, terms like this one are not pedantry — they are the difference between the advertised number and the billed one. Every definition in this glossary links back to the places in the database and the methodology where the concept does its work.

In practice the term earns its keep at exactly one moment: the moment a price, a claim, or a plan term crosses your screen and you need to know which kind of number you are looking at. That is what this glossary is for — not vocabulary, but calibration — and the questions index shows each concept answering something specific.
