--- title: "The Replication Rate" number: 10 statement: "What share of headline charity impact findings replicate when they are tested again?" progress: "A systematic replication project covering a defined set of influential findings, publishing the rate with confidence bounds." conditions: ["silence-about-failure", "measurement-gap"] status: open bounty: "Unfunded. The Question Bounties program will attach prizes once it is funded." --- ## Why it matters The [Replication Program](/programs/replication-program/) describes published checks in psychology and deworming research. Charitology has not established an equivalent sector-wide rate for charity impact findings. Donors deserve to know how much to trust a headline. ## Where to start Choose a fixed list of widely cited findings, pre-register the replication plan and publish everything, including findings that replicate. See the [Replication Program](/programs/replication-program/).
