As a research organization dedicated to rigor and collaboration, we feel it’s important to share not only our accomplishments but also our mistakes, including those that seemed difficult to correct ahead of time even with more effort and insight but nonetheless seemed to be mistakes in hindsight. Our decision to have a dedicated page for those mistakes was inspired by the mistakes pages of GiveWell and Animal Charity Evaluators. A small number of mistakes are omitted to protect privacy.
