They don't, actually, have every treatment planner on the continent who's awake, watching this; only treatment-planners who already have extensible secrecy-oaths with Exception Handling, likewise the market participants.  They're well-capitalized, sure, but fewer than Merrin might have hoped.

They're rushing getting at least the consensus first steps on that ops-room monitor, even if it's not sufficiently formally specified to get traded and come with a probability attached; but, alas, things are not quite as fast as they'd be if this was an open commercial medical market.  Secrecy has costs, always; and secrecy has nonmonetary, financially irreducible costs, almost always.


Someone else is having a conversation with Hospital Administration about a purported plan now rapidly being sketched out which would involve five different pieces of equipment, half of which only get used in weird emergencies.  Is this tiny regional hospital actually up-to-date on its emergency certs, and do they actually have oppers corresponding to all of those five pieces of equipment on-call, and can all five of the requisite people actually be inside that room in the next seven minutes?  It's understandable if trying to press all five of those emergency buttons makes one of those buttons fail, but if so, EH treatment planning needs to know that right now.
