Disclosure: Sarah and Ben are friends, and we came out of the same CE incubation batch, so I’m not unbiased here.
I think it’s speaks well of a person’s integrity, objectivity, and concern for impact that they’re able to make a clear eyed assessment that their own project isnt having the desired impact, and then going ahead to shut it down so as to not burn counterfactually valuable resources.
It’s something that’s worth emulating, and I do try to apply this myself—via regular CEAs and qualitative evaluations of CEAECH’s expected impact (especially as a meta org with a more indirect path to impact). We’re only wasting our own time otherwise!
