Economic Impact Calculator

Project Synopsis

The Economic Impact Calculator isn't just a tool. It is a shared lens. It helps a wide range of people in the AMR ecosystem see the value of interventions more clearly, compare tradeoffs, and make better calls on where to focus energy, funding, and time. We are building this tool because we are tired of seeing critical public health threats, like drug-resistant infections, ignored simply because they don't fit neatly into an investor pitch deck.

Bridging the disconnect between AMR severity and financial signals.

The pathogens that most threaten global health often offer the weakest commercial incentives. Under current market conditions, these are high-need, low-reward targets. The Economic Impact Calculator translates that danger into something decision-makers and funders can act on, giving us a common language to connect scientific urgency to real-world resources.

The calculator assesses who's at risk and where, evaluates pandemic potential, identifies gaps in existing solutions, and models financial returns under different policy incentives. It considers subscription models and exclusivity vouchers to show what kind of return is possible with the right support.

Translating pathogen danger into economic insight

"The Economic Impact Calculator doesn't just measure how dangerous a pathogen is. It translates that danger into something decision-makers and funders can act on."

How It Works

Users specify a pathogen of interest, and the calculator assesses the economics around outbreaks. It considers who's at risk and where, whether threats could go global, what solutions already exist, and what the financial return would be for developers and funders. This isn't about flattening everything into a single score, it is about painting a structured view of risk, value, and opportunity.

Impact

This tool supports data-driven decision making, more efficient use of funds, better alignment with traditional investors, and smarter use of incentives. By putting AMR solutions in investment language, it helps connect scientific potential with capital markets, government funding, and mission-driven investment.

Conclusion

The Economic Impact Calculator gives everyone from scientists to investors, public health leaders to DAO contributors, a way to look at the same problem with shared language, shared insight, and shared priorities. This is how we move from fragmentation to focus. From isolated efforts to aligned action.
