Off the top of my head, I’m not sure how many posts would get this tag. But I know at least that one would, and I’d guess we’d find several more if we looked.
And in any case, this seems to be a useful concept that’s frequently invoked in the EA community, so having a short wiki entry on it might be good (even ignoring tagging).
ETA: I’ve just seen this post: How would you define “disentanglement research”? The existence of that post updates me towards slightly more confidence that this entry would be worth having. And the content in that post could be useful for this entry.

This is obviously very similar to the idea of a research summary. But I think that these terms and the Distill article add some value. And the research summary tag is currently only for research summaries, not for discussion of the value of or best practices for distilling research or making summaries.
Update: I’ve now made this entry.
Disentanglement research
Defined here: https://forum.effectivealtruism.org/posts/RCvetzfDnBNFX7pLH/personal-thoughts-on-careers-in-ai-policy-and-strategy

Another suggestion: Research distillation or Research debt or similar
We could have:
an entry for this and another for disentanglement research (with links between them)
one entry covering both
one entry that’s mainly on one topic but briefly mentions/links to the other
neither
What I have in mind is what’s discussed here: https://distill.pub/2017/research-debt/
