Thanks for offering Vasco! We’ll likely take you up on this.
An impact analysis or cost-effectiveness estimate is one of the most asked questions. When talking with the organizations, we however almost always land on gathering data on the project first to inform why a program is generating results (otherwise, a CEA/​CEE isn’t very actionable).
However, I wouldn’t be surprised if we do some in the coming period. Even if the actual number of animal/​dollar isn’t actionable (yet), a CEA/​CEE can be used to identify the most likely drivers for impact. Let’s stay in touch!
You are welcome to reach out any time. I am also open to looking into CEAs you may have done in the past if you think that is helpful. I also gave feedback on the CEAs of 7 charities Animal Charity Evaluators (ACE) assessed in 2025.

Great to know.

That makes sense. At the same time, I think there are cases where a CEA could show an intervention is not promising even without any data collection. It could be that the parameters required to make the intervention cost-effective relative to a relevant benchmark are not realistic. CEAs are one way Ambitious Impact (AIM) assesses which charities to incubate.

Agreed. The CEA could show whether an intervention is cost-effective or not relative to a relevant benchmark crucially depends on some key parameters. Then the data collection could focus on decreasing the uncertaity in these.
