I wonder if it may be helpful to combine this with a moral parliament tool. Personally, my credence in consequentialism is far lower than 60% (which is the credence used on the linked spreadsheet), and my preferred normative theory is not even considered (Ross’ prima facie duties theory).
Thanks for the comment! To clarify, our model and recommendations do draw upon the same approaches to moral uncertainty as our moral parliament. Our Cross-Cause Fund draws upon 14 different worldviews (see here for the exact details) and uses a weighted average of recommendations across nine methods of aggregating across them.
Additionally, though our main Donor Compass tool is simplified, you can use a more Advanced Mode here to incorporate moral uncertainty across several combinations of worldviews. (I’m not familiar with Ross’ prima facie duties theory, but hopefully you could represent it adequately in the model.) Then, just like the Moral Parliament, you can specify which aggregation method you want to apply to resolve disagreements between worldviews.
