The quadratic-proportional lemma works in the setting where there’s an unbounded total pool; if one project’s finding necessarily pulls from another, then I agree it doesn’t work to the extent that that tradeoff is in play.
In this case, I’m modeling each cause as small relative to the total pool, in which case the error should be correspondingly small.
