I think it would be very valuable if more reports of this kind were citable in contexts where people are sensitive to signs of credibility and prestige. In other words, I think there are contexts where if this existed as a report on SSRN or even ArXiV, or on the website of an established institution, I think it could be citable and would be valuable as such. Currently I don’t think it could be cited (or taken seriously if cited). So if there are low-cost ways of publishing this or similar reports in a more polished way, I think that would be great.
Caveats that (i) maybe you have done this and I missed it; (ii) this comment isn’t really specific to this post but it’s been on my mind and this is the most recent post where it is applicable; and (iii) on balance it does nonetheles seem likely that the work required to turn this into a ‘polished’ report means doing so is not (close to) worthwhile.
That said: this is an excellent post and I’m very grateful for these forecasts.
Thanks for the suggestion and glad you found the forecasts helpful :)
I personally have a distaste for academic credentialist culture so am probably not the best person to turn this into a more prestigious looking report. I agree it might be valuable despite my distaste, so if anyone reading this is interested in doing so feel free to DM me and I can probably help with funding and review if you have a good writing track record.
