GiveWell has used this “three factor model” as well (they also use the terms ‘crowdedness,’ ‘importance,’ and ‘tractability’). I’m not sure about the dates when either organization started using this model, and I wouldn’t be at all surprised if people started using it independently, since it’s rather intuitive.
It makes sense, but I didn’t know about the model before the Effective Altruism Summit. Having it crystallized is great, and everyone should know about it, so I want to write a post about it for this forum.
This comment is a reminder to myself to write it.
If anyone wants to help me write it, or give feedback, please send me a private message.
