are you referring to what it seems the LTFF expected when they made the grant, what you think you would’ve expected at the time the grant was made, what you expect from EA/longtermist donations in general, or something else
Yes, that’s tricky. The problem I have here is that different grants are in different domains and take different amounts. Ideally I’d have something like “utilons per dollar/other resources” but that’s 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?
