Great post! I think the WALY / QALY distinction—and how to explain it carefully—should be taught to anyone running a giving game. As someone who organised a game recently, I found it tricky to navigate the trade-off between emphasising the basics ( “QALYs are a really important metric!”) and the caveats (“It’s only one of many important metrics”). This article by NICE helped me think the issue through.
