The ITN framework is a tool used in effective altruism to evaluate and prioritize different cause areas or problems to work on. It stands for Importance, Tractability, and Neglectedness.

  1. Importance - How much would solving this problem improve the world?
  2. Tractability - How solvable is this problem with additional resources?
  3. Neglectedness - How neglected or under-resourced is this area currently?
