Thought: In what ways do EA orgs / funds go about things differently than in the rest of the non-profit (or even for-profit) world? If they do things differently: Why? How much has that been analyzed? How much have they looked into the literature / existing alternative approaches / talked to domain experts?
Naively, if the the thing they do differently is not related to the core differences between EA / that org and the rest of the world, then I’d expect that this is kind of like trying to re-invent the wheel and it won’t be a good use of resources unless you have a good reason to think you can do better.
