**Main points in favor of this grant**

• We just need to know this or have some idea of it (continuous work should be done here almost certainly). Hard to believe nobody has done this yet.
• Came strongly recommended from Peter Wildeford who I very much like. He preferred this to a different project I was also evaluating.
• Lots of spill on effects that will be valuable
• People involved seem qualified and have good track records doing this work

**Donor's main reservations**

• I don't know these people. It comes somewhat second hand due to a few recommendations from people I trust.
• I worry these results will be used too conclusively and not updated much. As in, people will have too much confidence in the results of this outcome
• Nothing could come of this but this isn't a big concern to me.

**Process for deciding amount**

I threw the rest of my balance into this. I didn't know exactly how to balance my Manifund budget over the few months. I didn't know how much more I would be getting if at all. This was a grant I was deciding on with a few other candidates. Once I decided this was the highest EV, I threw my entire remaining balance. Don't look into the weird number.

**Conflicts of interest**

Nothing to disclose.
