  "summary": "Fermi estimation of LongtermWiki value grounded in base rates. GiveWell shows 3% of donors choose based on effectiveness research; 80k Hours achieves ~107 significant plan changes/year; think tanks rarely demonstrate causal policy impact. Conservative central estimate: \\$100-500K/yr in effective value through researcher onboarding (primary), funder information improvement (secondary), with high-variance 'inspiration' pathway that's hard to quantify. Much lower than naive estimates due to: limited counterfactual impact of information on decisions, small target audience, and low probability of behavioral change.",
