+- [x] Do a model for a few animal QALYs

+- [x] Add skeleton for all ACE charities

+## Plans after a bit more thinking
+
+- Estimate a few animal QALYs & foods
+  - [x] Cow
+  - [x] Pigs
+  - [x] Chicken
+  - [x] Fish
+- Estimate the value of a few animal charities, corresponding to helping the four animals above:
+  - Orgs chosen:
+    - [ ] Beyond Meat (cows)
+    - [ ] Something for pigs?
+    - [x] Fish Welfare Initiative (fish)
+    - [x] The Humane League: Open Wings Alliance (chickens)
+  - Add budget and therefore cost-effectiveness 
+  - Specify the timeline value estimates apply to
+- Make these estimates valuable
+  - [ ] Whip them into shape for the relative values project
+  - [ ] Add some explanations, and send them to ACE
+
+## Discarded plans & notes
+
+I also considered a few other orgs, particularly from [ACE top charities](<https://animalcharityevaluators.org/donation-advice/recommended-charities/>), but discarded because they would require more work, or because they would require more assumptions. Below the orgs and reasons: 
+
+- [-] Faunalytics: Too meta, postpone until later.
+- [-] Wild Animal Initiative: Unclear what the cost-effectiveness of a wild animal intervention would be, and therefore unclear what the value of redirecting funding would be. Postpone
+- [-] The Good Food Institute: $55M: too many programmes. Maybe try to get ACE to estimate a few of their more important programmes.
