Please do use the Refactor however you would like, although please also add enough of a disclaimer to keep the context from this essay that the Refactor is an academic exercise which tries to stay roughly true to GiveWell’s design philosophy and assumptions while improving architecture and calculation conventions. I don’t think as a standalone piece of modelling it is the cutting edge of what EA could aspire to, whereas Nolan / McGuire really do seem to be operating at that level.
But yes, really happy to contribute if I can be of any help—drop me a message!
