I think one could address that simply by tweak the quoted sentences to āIt has been determined that itās most likely a good idea to start object-level work on a specific cause/āintervention (e.g., starting a charity, starting a new programme in an existing org or government, doing independent research and advising key decision-makers). Now the hard work begins of actually doing that.ā
(Iām also not sure the implementation stage will always or typically be harder than the other three stages. I donāt specifically believe the opposite; I just feel unsure, and imagine it varies.)
One minor quibble with your comment: I think ādo an Econ PhD [and during this or afterwards try to estimate the philanthropic discount rate]ā should probably not by itself be called āimplementationā. Itās more object-level than doing prioritisation research to inform whether someone should do that, but by itself it doesnāt yet connect to any ādirectly importantā decisions. So Iād want to make some mention of later communicating findings to key decision-makers.

I agree with this.

Thatās all fair. I would endorse that rewording (and potential change of approach)
