I'd love a general introduction to what you're targeting and general methodology, because this post leaves me with a lot of questions.

What is "Phase Transition" and "Reject Procreation"? How is climate change different from biogeochem and ocean acidification? Is poverty really a catastrophic risk? How were the zero-organization GCR's chosen?

There will be a write up of the methodology in respectable terms in the final report, but it's essentially knowledge+google search+checking links on various sites (such as those found by the above processes, and some of the effective altruism sites that have looked into this).
