Just so everyone knows, I thought about this same idea before, and I asked Holden Karnofsky at the 2014 effective altruism summit if he thought Givewell would ever go into consultancy. HIs opinion was that it’s not something they would try for a long time, and which isn’t part of their core mission as an evaluator.
I would probably suggest it ran out of Oxford as a separate project, as you can pick up the Halo effect. It wouldn’t sit well in a charity evaluator. Sits better alongside 80,000 hours—how do I make the most difference with my life—how do we make the most difference with our charity?
