Executive summary: The Portfolio Builder tool can be used to explore different scenarios in effective altruism by adjusting parameters like scale, probability of success, and diminishing returns for various cause areas, demonstrating how these factors influence optimal funding allocations.
Key points:
Short-term x-risk reduction scenarios show how probability of success and scale affect expected value calculations and funding recommendations.
Moral weights for animals significantly impact whether animal welfare causes dominate portfolios.
Diminishing marginal returns have an enormous influence on optimal allocations across cause areas.
The tool illustrates tradeoffs between global health and development, animal welfare, and existential risk reduction under different assumptions.
Further research on cost-effectiveness of capacity-building could greatly affect optimal funding allocations.
