Thank you Ricardo, this is an insightful analysis.
I’d like to see more EA Forum posts with this level of investigation invested into them.
In particular, the balance of more longtermist and less global health funding is in contrast with other analyses on the forum.
I think your write-up could be improved more than the underlying analysis.
To make this more accessible to others, and your work higher impact, I’d recommend the following.
Include your most important takeaways, and less information on your methods (eg the link to the notebook) in the tl;dr. Very few of your readers will have the time to dig into your code, and those who do are also likely to read the whole post. Almost all your readers want to know about your conclusions though.
Relatedly, your conclusions are quite meta (eg the stats page could be clearer), but don’t highlight your important findings (eg: 2023 had a lot less money distributed, GHD is declining and LTFF is increasing).
