I would qualify this statement by saying that it would be nice for OP to have more reasoning transparency, but it is not the most important thing and can be expensive to produce. So it would be quite reasonable for additional marginal transparency to not be the most valuable use of their staff time.
I think if there’s anything they should bother to be publicly transparent about in order to subject to further scrutiny, it’s their biggest cruxes for resource allocation between causes. Moral weights, theory of welfare and the marginal cost-effectiveness of animal welfare seem pretty decisive for GHD vs animal welfare.
Regardless of what Open Phil ends up doing, would really appreciate them to at least do this :)
