Hi Vasco, I haven’t looked at this discussion for many months, and don’t exactly remember the technical points. I also don’t have a lot of time to dedicate on the topic since they weren’t part of my donation portfolio (but mostly because I haven’t look into what Synergia do).
I think this is an interesting discussion to have to clarify whether there has been an exaggeration, but first in the format of an actual 1-1 discussion with people at Synergia or ACE to understand more quickly whether this is a matter of lower cost-effectiveness, or just the website not being up to date.
As a note, I think you are more qualified to discuss this topic than Vetted Causes, since they directly burned bridges and caused reputational harm to the org based on shaky arguments that might have been dispelled with a 30 minutes discussion (although it’s not impossible a few of them are true, looking at your comments). Same for their recent posts on the Society for the Protection of Insects.
