We put a lot of effort into making our research process and reasoning transparent. GiveWell holds conference calls and research meetings where we discuss our charity recommendations and answer questions.
On May 9, 2012 we held a research event giving an update on our recommended charities and on GiveWell labs. An audio recording and a transcript of the audio are available:
- Audio recording of the event (MP3)
