My impression is that the methodology doesn’t significantly differ from GiveWell, but we might apply it with a different emphasis. It seems like GiveWell puts a bit less weight on speculative arguments and a bit more weight on common sense within their clusters. However, these differences are pretty small on the scale of things, and are hard to disentangle from having come across different evidence rather than having different methodology.
I’m interested in how that differs from the way Givewell does it’s assessments. What justifies these differences?
