I see, thanks. I feel like the closest analogy here that seems viable to me would be to something like: is Open Philanthropy able to hire security experts to improve its security and assess whether they’re improving its security? And I think the answer to that is yes. (Most of its grantees aren’t doing work where security is very important.)
It feels harder to draw an analogy for something like “helping with standards enforcement,” but maybe we could consider OP’s ability to assess whether its farm animal welfare grantees are having an impact on who adheres to what standards, and how strong adherence is? I think OP has pretty good (not perfect) ability to do so.
