I don’t find that evidence particularly compelling on its own, no. Lots of projects cost more than 1M or take more than a few years to have success. I don’t see why those things would be cause to dismiss a project out of hand.
The question I asked was: “You don’t find these facts particularly compelling evidence that LIC is not historically cost-effective?”
The question was not about whether these facts are compelling evidence that LIC won’t be successful in the future, or if the project should be dismissed.
Wait, those are related to each other though—if we haven’t seen the full impact of their previous actions, we haven’t yet seen their historical cost-effectiveness in full! Also, you cite these as reasons the project should be dismissed in your post—you have a section literally called “Legal Impact for Chickens Did Not Achieve Any Favorable Legal Outcomes, Yet ACE Rated Them a Top Charity” which reads to me that you believe that it is bad they were rated a Top Charity, and make these same arguments (and no others) in the section, suggesting that you think this evidence means they should be dismissed.

No, they are not. Historical cost-effectiveness refers to past actions and outcomes—what has already occurred.
All of LIC’s legal actions have already been either dismissed or rejected. What are you suggesting we need to wait for before we can analyze LIC’s historical cost-effectiveness in full?
You are conflating the issue of past cost-effectiveness with future potential.

Did I claim that I don’t think LIC “should be dismissed”?
