Last year, we estimated the completion rate by surveying various groups (e.g. everyone who works at 80k) about who took the survey this year.
This showed that among highly engaged EAs, the response rate was ~40%, which let David make these estimates.
If we repeated that process this year, we could make a new estimate of the total number of EAs, which would give us an estimate of the growth / shrinkage since 2019. This would be a noisy estimate, but one of the better methods I’m aware of, so I’d be excited to see this happen.
I kinda do this in this comment above: not estimating the total size again directly, but showing that I don’t think the current numbers suggest a reduction in size.
