Whoops, I put this answer under the wrong question. Here it is here. I think Emily’s Forum comment from six months ago remains most relevant here. In particular:
To date, we haven’t focused on making direct comparisons between GHW and FAW. Instead, we’ve focused on trying to equalize marginal returns within each area and do something more like worldview diversification to determine allocations across GHW, FAW, and Open Philanthropy’s other grantmaking. In other words, each of GHW and FAW has its own rough “bar” that an opportunity must clear to be funded. While our frameworks allow for direct comparisons, we have not stress-tested consistency for that use case. We’re also unsure conceptually whether we should be trying to equalize marginal returns between FAW and GHW or whether we should continue with our current approach. We’re planning to think more about this question next year.
On your specific question, the raising of OP’s GHW cost-effectiveness bar did not affect animal welfare interventions.
On your specific question, the raising of OP’s GHW cost-effectiveness bar did not affect animal welfare interventions.
In this case:
How does OP decide on the amount of funding to allocate to farm animal welfare? If it is set to a given fraction of the total funding, how does OP decide on this fraction?
Does OP’s farm animal welfare area have other explicit cost-effectiveness bar?
Side note. OP’s GHW portfolio includes the focus area farm animal welfare. If interventions in this area are not affected by OP’s GHW bar, I think it would be better to say in posts like the one I linked above that the bar being discussed only applies to human welfare interventions. Maybe OP could call it OP’s GHW human welfare bar.

Thanks, Lewis!
