We did not make the comparison to QALYs since the program looked at global health/​development and animal interventions separately. So we only compared animal interventions to other animal interventions. My personal perspective is that animal interventions indeed tend do be much more cost-effective, which is why I focus on that area.
It might also be interesting to note that CE’s own previous research (which we did not really look at when we conducted our own research) estimates ~20-30 welfare points per dollar, which is somewhat higher than our best guess of 12 WP/​$.
Thanks for adding that helpful perspective!
