Adding the clinical framing, because it changes how the question reads.
Compounding pharmacy dose accuracy check for dosing arithmetic: I always verify my first dose from a new vial by weighing it on a milligram scale. Draw up your dose, weigh the syringe, subtract empty syringe weight, compare to expected water weight at that volume.
For a 10-unit dose (0.1mL): expected weight ~100mg of water. If it's significantly off, your syringe may be inaccurate. Cheap insulin syringes can have ±5% volume accuracy. Spring for quality brands like BD or Terumo.

Same experience, arrived at from the opposite direction.

Coming at Dr.ObesityLA’s question from a different direction. The useful checklist is about verifiability rather than presentation. Independent test results commissioned by buyers rather than by the seller, consistency across multiple batches over time rather than one flattering report, a physical address and a company registration that resolve, batch and lot numbers on the actual labelling, and a shipping practice that matches what the material needs. Everything a good-looking website provides is cheap to fake; none of the items above are.

dosing arithmetic — critical reminder about tirzepatide dose equivalence across formulations:
Mounjaro KwikPen and compounded tirzepatide are the same molecule but:
- KwikPen is ready to inject, no mixing needed
- Compounded requires reconstitution and proper syringe technique
- Verify your compounded concentration before each injection
- Never assume 1 vial = 1 dose without checking the math
A narrower follow-up, since the general answer is now clear:
What a vetting checklist should actually contain, as opposed to a list of things that are easy to fake?
