But I also found the outcomes hard to interpretāwhen you say āthan expectedā, are you referring to what it seems the LTFF expected when they made the grant, what you think you wouldāve expected at the time the grant was made, what you expect from EA/ālongtermist donations in general, or something else?

Yes, thatās tricky. The problem I have here is that different grants are in different domains and take different amounts. Ideally Iād have something like āutilons per dollar/āother resourcesā but thatās impractical. Instead, I judge a grant in its own terms: Did it achieve the purpose in the grants rationale? or something similarly valuable in case there was a change of plan?
Thanks, I found this interesting.
