Ranked on a published formula, not an opinion
Every listed program starts at 75. That floor is fixed and identical for all of them, so it separates nobody: the only part of the score a program does anything to earn is the 25 points above it, and those are the points shown as earned on every row. They come from five published components, each one a statement about what a program puts on its own pricing page: price level, price completeness, required fees priced, terms on record, and whether dose and coverage are stated. The index measures how completely a program publishes its charges. It says nothing about clinical quality, effectiveness, safety or medical endorsement. The filters below run after the ranking and never move a program.

All five read a published figure
Price level7
The lowest all-in monthly equivalent the record can derive. Full marks at or below $75, none at or above $400, linear between. No marks at all where the all-in figure is withheld.
Price completeness8
The share of a program's offers that carry a derivable all-in monthly figure. The heaviest single weight, because a published all-in price for every offer sold is the thing this index measures.
Required fees priced4
The share of a program's offers where no required consultation, lab, membership or startup fee is left without an amount.
Terms on record4
Two for stating that there is no minimum term, one for stated cancellation terms, one for a membership stated as a number. A stated lock-in earns nothing here.
Dose & coverage stated2
One for stating whether the charge varies by dose, one for recording where the program ships.
This score measures pricing disclosure completeness. It is not a measure of clinical quality, effectiveness or safety, and it is not a medical endorsement of any program.
This set is consumer menopause hormone-therapy programs that sell estradiol and progesterone to patients directly and publish a charge for it. It is not a census of HRT: pellet therapy at clinics, in-person gynecology, compounding pharmacies and retail-pharmacy fills paid through insurance are not in the set, and a program is not included or excluded on the strength of clinical evidence.

The index measures how completely a program publishes its charges, and the bands are named for that: full, broad, partial, narrow, baseline. No band describes the medicine, the clinician or the outcome. The bottom of the scale is 75, not zero, because nothing unsourced is listed here in the first place. A total of 96.0 should be read as 75 plus 21.0 earned, not as a mark out of a hundred.
A program whose all-in figure is withheld scores no price-level marks. The component reads the all-in monthly equivalent and will not fall back to a smaller known-charges figure.
No program pays for a position here, and no outbound link carries a referral commission. That is a flag in the data rather than a sentence in the copy: if either ever changes, every page that shows this notice discloses it automatically.
