Changelog
Last updated the 1st of September 2023.
In our ongoing commitment to transparency and continuous improvement, we maintain this changelog to document updates to our assessments of various charitable organisations. Below, you’ll find a record of changes made to our cost-effectiveness estimates for different charities, along with the key details of each update.
This is a new website page, and we’re still thinking about what to include here and how best to present it. Feel free to send any feedback to hello@happierlivesintitute.org.
