I would rather you didn’t share the post more widely if that’s ok, this is a sanity check and not a cost effectiveness analysis—and a loose check which might be plain wrong. I would want this to carry approximately zero weight about whether people would be keen to donate to New incentives or not.
For the record this hasn’t changed my opinion of New Incentives at all, I think they’re a great charity! Its just a sanity check of what might be an overestimate of lives saved by GiveWell
Yes, I’m a big fan of New Incentives too— even if your numbers were spot on, 13000+ lives saved is still an incredible result. And they’re amazing to work with. (Shout-out to Liz Hixson if she happens to be reading this 💙)
