This sounds really cool and the only AI related ACX Grants cert project I could evaluate to have some legible chance at an impact, potentially a viral one. It already had some success apparently and just needs more funding. The Turing Test is a pretty fundamental concept in AI lore and we should have at least one running.

I'd be tempted to put all my $500 to making this one happen, but there's a discrepancy between the minimum funding goal and the 70-100k being asked for in the description so I am hesitant.
I also have a vague feeling I have heard about this sort of thing before and that there could be other projects out there like this (super unsure) making it not neglected. I'm also not sure about the growth plan for getting adoption of products based on the research once realized (I am not at all familiar with how universities productize this stuff but I assume UC Berkeley would partially own it and would make a bunch of money licensing it out?? apologies if I am very likely misunderstanding, just giving my surface impression).

Aren't eggs one of the worst products, moreso than meat? Also, IIRC rice farming(?) involves killing mice. I'd want to use such an app if I could subjectively set the associated cruelty scores and if I was more confident that it was accurate.
That said, this does sound like it could have a lot of potential to grow, assuming a good marketing plan.

Effective Thesis has existed for at least five and a half years, though I haven't followed it too closely. I'm confused what about this is different from its previous offerings. I don't know how much influence it has either (e.g. how many people visit the website, have plan changes, produce theses based on your suggestions, or however you measure it).

There's too many big sciency words for me to evaluate with not much time. Would be easier to get a sense of the value with a headline statement summarizing the value proposition / theory of change.

I don't have enough time to evaluate this one last minute, but what's preventing this from bootstrapping by getting a cut of the businesses?

Have you considered partnering with Jordan Braunstein/Tetraspace (ACX Grantees) on using an assurance contract platform for this?
