FDA moved the peptide-compounding exemption: the proposed interim access policy for pharmacies mixing certain peptides went to the White House for review, while copycat-weight-loss enforcement (Hims litigation, tainted-product warnings, a Georgia black market) shows how much demand already runs outside branded supply. If the rule opens compounding, compounded fills displace branded GLP-1 scripts and cash-pay prices fall; if it stalls or narrows, enforcement plus the branded obesity pipeline keeps the mix branded. Test it with compounded-versus-branded fill counts, state 503A/503B registration and FDA inspection dockets, and scraped cash-pay peptide price panels - not trial headlines or total prescription dollars, which move for many reasons.

A compounding-network operator mapping the pharmacy base it could serve if the exemption opens is the tell that the constraint being relaxed is registration-legal supply, not customer demand.

The cash-pay telehealth operator re-rates on a rule draft, not a script count: the addressable figure quoted is legal-supply capacity, so registration-eligible pharmacy counts are the tradable read-through.

The rule change, not demand, is the event: the compounders' legal right to mix GLP-1 copies is now a White House review step, and it is the only variable that flips Hims' supply model either way.

Enforcement against copycat weight-loss drugs sizes the demand pool that is currently illegal to serve, so it bounds the volume the exemption could transfer from branded to compounded.
