Thanks for posting this shallow review! I strong-upvoted because I think it’s really good for us to get more data on the Forum, even if it’s shallow and flawed, as long as the author makes an effort to identify the flaws.
If you had a decent researcher who was willing to devote an extra week of work to the project (say, 25 focused hours plus check-ins with you), what are the questions you’d want them to cover?
Thanks for the encouragement. I think that aiming for a “perfect” write-up has been a barrier to publishing content, so I intend for us to publish more shallow reviews to address this.
To answer your question, I think the best focus areas would be the six bullet points highlighted near the start of the article, with a particular focus on the first two (are the stoves actually used, and are they actually clean?) and the last (what is the best way to fund this work?).
Also, we would further investigate the very useful comments made by MatthewDahlhausen (which seemed very useful and was upvoted by me) and look further at the GiveWell analysis as mentioned by cole_haus (I was aware of this, but had not had the capacity to review it properly)
