Bio
I recently started my work as a Communication Specialist at Rethink Priorities. Before joining RP for almost 6 years I've been working with Charity Entrepreneurship as a Senior Recruitment & Digital Media Manager. Prior to joining CE, I obtained my PhD in Philosophy, specializing in the moral status of animals, and published a book on the topic in Polish. My professional experience includes working as a Project Manager and PR & Marketing Manager for startup projects affiliated with Michał Kiciński, a Polish billionaire and investor who co-founded CD Projekt, the company behind the popular video game series, The Witcher. I had the pleasure of building a Pay What You Want eBooks portal and opening a trendy vegan restaurant in central Warsaw as part of my work with Michał. I have also worked as a Communications Manager for ProVeg International in Poland. For over 23 years, I have been a vegan and dedicated animal activist.

What difference have SADs made in your methodology? Will you try to use this methodology across various types of organizations next year?
On your recommendation list, there are charities that are clearly cost-effective charities, that you tested with your new methodology, and that stand the test and came across to you as highly impactful opportunities.
On the other hand, there are somewhat more speculative charities, that have a less clear Theory of Change and at the moment could have less impact for animals (which e.g. was not tested with your new methodology, because some of them are recommended a second year in a row).
Are you not concerned that having those double standards this year (some charities evaluated with new, more rigorous methodology, and some not) might lead to directing money to these speculative, and possibly less impactful opportunities, rather than directing them to organizations that create tangible impact for animals?
Great idea to start this forum! I like that it resembles EA Forum so much, as we're already familiar with the functionality :) Congrats.
How many counterfactual donations have the recommended charities received in the last year? Do you know how much change the recommendation makes to their budgets, and therefore how significant it is to be placed or dropped out from the list?
