Efficient message search. We design research pipelines that allow campaigns to explore the large space of potential messages more efficiently, and to quickly zero-in on the most impactful messaging strategies. Our methodology is based on a combination of large-scale adaptive online survey RCTs, Bayesian machine learning and surrogate metrics.

- "The IiF wiki collects and presents evidence on the most successful approaches to motivating effective and impactful charitable giving, and promotes innovative research and its application." This precedes and is partially integrated into the current resource
The challenge is that the “space” of messages for campaigns to decide between is enormous — there are very many things a campaign could say and many different ways to say them. Unfortunately, research shows that relying on theory and expert guidance about “what works” when designing campaign messages is unlikely to be effective by itself, because “what works” is difficult to predict and can change dramatically across contexts (e.g., see , , , ).
