I really love Charity Entrepreneurship :) A remark and a question:

1. I notice one strength you mention at family planning is “Strong funding outside of EA”—I think this is a very interesting and important factor that’s somewhat neglected in EA analyses because it goes beyond cost-effectiveness. We are not asking the ‘given our resources, how can we spend them most effectively?’ but the more general (and more relevant) ‘how can we do the most good?’ I’d like to see ‘how much funding is available outside of EA for this intervention/​cause area’ as a standard question in EA’s cost-effectiveness analyses :)

2. Is there anything you can share about expanding to two of the other cause areas: long-termism and meta-EA?

Has active agents, namely tobacco companies, that push against interventions in this space

I wonder if that’s so bad: considering we are playing a zero-sum game against this companies, each $ we make them spend to defend themselves against public policies will impact the price of their product—and, given price-elasticity, will deter consumption.
