For my part, I’m a pretty big fan of using R. Many Effective Altruist organisations are very google docs dependent, HLI included. But we’ve found a pretty satisfying workflow where we go: google sheets → R → back to google sheets → link summary tables to google docs. Hopefully we will make the code for this public if / when we update our analysis in the next year.
I love R and maybe there is a way to integrate this project into R? That said, I’d like to see this take on an ‘output’ format with some of the benefits shown in this notebook, and in dashboards like the one for Causal app.
What are the implications?
The connotation of the language “what are the implications” as a header , which I think you didn’t mean, could be “what’s the big deal, not impressed”. If someone (not you :) ) were to say that, I’d suggest also we need to give it a little more time, and in particular, have at least two models to compare, for at least 2 interventions/charities.
Your discussion of ‘sensitivity analysis’ seems like this could lead to a lot of value. I’ve seen a bit about the VOI stuff but I’m also not versed in it; but we could get someone on board who is.

I don’t want to open R and write a script when I just want a quick and dirty Monte Carlo simulation to help me answer a metaculus question. For that purpose Squiggle and Guesstimate work well.

Did you mean ‘Causal and Guesstimate’?
