According to the discussion post, the author works/worked in a firm that evaluates grant requests; the discussion article dealt mainly with the author pointing out how horribly irrational the funding requests were at meeting goals related to improving education (they were rational enough if their only goal was to get funding; the primary example called for vastly more money than was actually needed to accomplish the proposed activities).
I don’t remember any further details about the author’s job/what organizations ey is involved with.
