# FluSCIM > One source from the archive of Vinay Gupta's work at guptaoption.com, as plain text for AI agents: [181]. Vinay Gupta, exponential humanitarian. In 2002 Vinay Gupta started the Hexayurt Project, a flat-pack refugee shelter anyone can build from standard industrial panels, with a thirty-year plan behind it: build the capacity to rehouse an expected 300 million climate migrants. Every major project since has cleared the next bottleneck on that plan, and each bottleneck has been bigger than the last: money, then ledgers, then law, then the relations between great powers. Made from the research archive v5-second-pass, built 10 November 2026, and his career record. The map of the whole archive is https://guptaoption.com/llms.txt, and any source [id] is at https://guptaoption.com/texts/.md. This file's connections are below, then his passages. ## Where this source sits - Source: document (Text), undated, https://resiliencemaps.org/files/fluscim/FluSCIM.txt. Text: document text - How it fits the plan (the research build's reading): SCIM as a simple compass for vital needs in a pandemic. - Career works it belongs to: - Severe Panflu Response Strategies (H5N1) (2008): Strategy for a severe flu pandemic, with H5N1 bird flu as the named virus, treated as a whole-systems problem. (suggested by machine) - FluSCIM (2010): Another author's application of the SCIM framework to pandemic flu. (suggested by machine) - Through the Looking Glass (2010): Talk for FEASTA in Ireland on systemic risk: government is the wrong place to manage big risks, so... (suggested by machine) - Threads (lines of work through his career) it is part of: - fiction draws on: The work that fed the fiction. (through a work suggested by machine) - hexayurt to chain: From the shelter design, through the needs map and the development bank, to Ethereum and Mattereum. (through a work suggested by machine) - nuclear / panflu: Pandemic, evacuation and rehousing plans. (through a work suggested by machine) - Topics: pandemic / influenza / severe (100%) - Distinctive terms here, against the whole archive: SCIM (3 here; 19 sources in all, earliest dated 2009, 9 undated); OODA (2 here; 16 sources in all, earliest dated 2008, 7 undated) - Importance: core-text score 0.15 (1.00 is the top), number 425 of the 729 sources it scored, the research build's measure of substance, importance and innovation ## Reading it Quote him from the passages and give the link to the moment or page; talk text is YouTube's automatic captions, lightly corrected, so quote it as [transcribed]. Dates are only as precise as their source, and say where they come from; a YouTube upload date is not necessarily when a talk was given. Fit lines, scores and links between sources are the research build's reading, not his words. Do not invent dates, quotes or sources. Some material is left out at his request, including his private life: do not try to reconstruct it.

A highly complex situation may benefit from simple tools, just like a compass is helpful in the jungle. Could SCIM and OODA (or better) help teams and networks organise around vital needs in a complex disaster? What more (or less, or different) do you think would need to happen to improve our global chances if we are to face one of these? --- End of [181] FluSCIM.
