This is an extremely interesting post to read, thanks for putting the time and effort into it.
I'm new to the EA forum, one of our PhD students mentioned it to me and I'm so glad she did. I'm Jill, I'm an animal welfare researcher at the University of Edinburgh and I'm a specialist in research methodology. To get my cards on the table, I'm a huge proponent of open scholarship approaches, and advocate of greater adoption of open scholarship within animal welfare science. This paper might be a good precisof my biases in that area: https://doi.org/10.3389/fvets.2021.745779
Your recommendations regarding the entire evidence pipeline should all be incorporated into recommendations from the Manifesto for Open Science, to my thinking. I do think there is a 'gap' in your analysis, in that animal welfare science is highly interdisciplinary, but in my opinion has been slow to reckon with the impact of the reproducibility crisis on our understanding of human behaviour, which is frequently more needed than the fundamental biological research on suffering.
This has given me a lot to think about though, thank you, I may return!
