GiveWell will examine itself critically over the coming weeks and share its self-review in near real time on its blog.

True: in the weeks after 2010-01-07, GiveWell's blog published self-review / self-evaluation posts (e.g., a series examining its own performance, mistakes, strengths and weaknesses) posted progressively as the review proceeded, not only as a single post long after the review ended. Mostly true: self-review posts appeared on the blog in early 2010 but with notable lag or fewer installments than implied, while still clearly sharing the review publicly as it went. Mixed: some self-review content was posted, but most of the review was published only as a final summary months later. Mostly false: only a brief mention or a single late summary appeared, with no near-real-time sharing. False: blog archives for January–April 2010 show no self-review posts, or GiveWell states the self-review was dropped or not shared.

Set before the research began.

1. E1 Self-evaluation: GiveWell as a donor resource - The GiveWell Blog GiveWell Blog · 9 February 2010 Own record

   “This is the first post (of four) we’re planning to make over the next two weeks focused on our self-evaluation and future plans.”

2. E2 Self-evaluation: GiveWell as a project - The GiveWell Blog GiveWell Blog · 11 February 2010 Own record

   “This is the second post (of four) we’re planning to make over the next two weeks focused on our self-evaluation and future plans. The first post is here.”

3. E3 GiveWell's plan: Top-level priorities - The GiveWell Blog GiveWell Blog · 16 February 2010 Own record

   “This is the third post (of four) we’re planning to make focused on our self-evaluation and future plans. The first post is here, and the second post is here.”

GiveWell's blog published a series of self-evaluation posts in installments: the first on 2010-02-09 (E1), the second on 2010-02-11 (E2) and the third on 2010-02-16 (E3). Each was framed as part of a planned four-post series on self-evaluation and future plans. This shows the review being shared progressively, within weeks of the 2010-01-07 statement, rather than as a single late summary. The posts are the subject's own published output, which counts as a specific record of delivery. The evidence does not show the fourth post, but the progressive sharing the criteria require is clearly documented.
