In the next 12 months (roughly now to May 2023), how many EA FTE should work on things like:
- functional and scalable processes,
- competent management,
- suitable legal status and backing,
- good operations support,
- well designed spaces,
- well written code.
To be clear, things I would NOT consider to be structural capital include any of:
- Financial capital (fundraising, donating)
- Human capital (recruiting, spreading EA)
- Network capital (thought leadership, research, blogging)
This is an informational market (see https://astralcodexten.substack.com/p/information-markets-decision-markets?s=r ); will ultimately be just my own take, but I'm happy to be persuaded based on your comments!
