Just a very quick comment to say that I largely agree and 80,000 Hours, as you note, is already moving heavily in this direction.
For instance, we track ‘impact-adjusted’ plan changes, to try to proxy the fact that some plan changes are far bigger than others. Recently, we’ve been focused only on growing the biggest changes in our priority paths (“upgrading”), since we think this is where the biggest bottlenecks lie in the community, and we’ve tilted our content and coaching in that direction.
We’ve also started to hire cause specialist coaches, to focus on resolving the most pressing talent bottlenecks in each cause area.
Along the lines of some of your other suggestions, we also set up 80000hours.org/job-board/ and are looking into an EA internship and scholarship scheme.
I can’t speak for them, but my impression is that CEA is taking similar steps. Open Phil is also doing more of this kind of work, such as with the AI Fellowship.
