I would love to see more community builders share their theories of change, even if they are just 1⁄2 page google docs with a few bullets and links to other articles (and where their opinions differ), and periodically update this (say, every 6 months or so) with major changes, examples of where they were wrong (this is by far the most important to me)
I think GiveWell and OP’s early commitment to transparency were admirable, if unusual and time-consuming. Not all groups will go as in-depth, of course, but I think it’s usually good when EA leaders and emerging leaders are brave enough to practice their reasoning skills in the real world of their projects, and to show their thinking as it develops.
+1 to transparency!
