They don't publish very long write-ups, it's more like a checklist of their particular criteria.

I do think the length of the analysis of GiveDirectly is fairly long (http://www.givewell.org/international/top-charities/give-directly). If you think that the recommendation of GiveDirectly is a mistake based on naive assumptions it makes sense to read the article.

I didn't say that, top level commenter did. I wish their evaluations of all charities were at least as detailed as that.

They would needs hundreds of staff if not more to do that.
