Another application of the Effectiveness-alone strategy might be to create an EA organization aiming to improve the effectiveness of charities by applying EA ideas (as opposed to evaluating charities to find the best ones).
I haven’t heard of anything like this. It’s the sort of thing that might feel less important than identifying/supporting top charities to most EAs. It might also require some expertise both in the area of the charity and in EA, to actually provide value. It’s the sort of thing that might be a good fit for someone with, say, a commitment to an existing organization, but with an interest in EA.

That is a very good idea! I suppose someone must have tried that?
