Gina and I eventually decided that the data collection process was too time-consuming, and we stopped partway through.
Josh You and I wrote a python script that searches Google for a list of keywords, saves the text of the web pages in the search results, and shows them to GPT and asks it questions about them from a prompt. This would quickly automate the rest of your data collection if you have the pledge signers in a list already. Email me if you want a copy.
You can open the web console on the linked page https://givingpledge.org/pledgerlist and type $$(".pledger-list-item").map(e => e.textContent); (or you can just copy-paste the list directly)
