Note: we were highly time-constrained in completing this second iteration of our project. On average, we spent about 10 researcher-days per organisation we evaluated (in other words, one researcher spending two full work weeks), of which only a limited part could go into direct evaluation work — a lot of time needed to go into planning and scoping, discussion on the project as a whole, communications with evaluators, and so on.
I think you did great based on the time you spent. Going through your evaluations, I thought to myself “good point” (or similar) so many times! Have you considered fundraising specifically for your evaluator research? I would be interested in supporting you as long as some (e.g. 1⁄3) of the additional funds go towards evaluating animal welfare evaluators.
Thanks for the positive feedback! We are actively considering the future of the GWWC research team, including whether we invest additional resources in future evaluating evaluators projects. To my knowledge, we have not considered fundraising specifically for the evaluating evaluators project. This might be an option we consider at some point, but I think we are probably unlikely to do so in the near future.
