No problem, thanks for your comments anyway and please let me know if any part of your critique remains that I haven’t engaged with. (Please see edit in main post which should have cleared most up)
I think most of my critique still stands, and I am still confused why the report does not actually recommend any GiveWell top charities. The fact that the report is limiting itself to charities that exclusively focus on women’s empowerment seems like a major constraint that makes the investigation a lot less valuable from a broad cause-prioritization perspective (and also for donors who actually care about reducing women’s empowerment, since it seems very likely that the best charities that achieve that aim do not aim to achieve that target exclusively).
