Note that (unless I missed something) your animal welfare report commits this same minor mistake of assuming that all hens used by companies that made cage-free commitments were in battery cages. While I think that’s true for the majority of hens, some of them were already in cage-free systems, and some were in enriched cages. But this is more than outweighed by some very conservative assumptions. E.g., that THL’s work only moved policies forward by 1 year or something like that. So it’s no big deal :)
What is way more important is all the indirect effects and other factors that I list in the “Ways this estimate could be misleading” section of my corporate campaigns CEA here. I think that they might be more important than direct effects. The same could also be true about AMF.
