Thanks for the thoughts, Jamie. I do think there is room for feedback in our work - we lay out short- and long-term hopes and predictions for grants (often including intermediate goals such as organizational growth) and check in periodically. And we do, all else equal (though it generally isn’t), have a preference for lower-uncertainty work. That said, someone who puts high enough weight on the importance of tangible measurement and feedback would probably prefer GiveWell’s work.
