Add a table for tools used by organizations

[vipulnaik]

I'm thinking of a table with columns (this could be OrgWatch-only):

• Organization (e.g., GiveWell, Animal Charity Evaluators)
• Tool (e.g., Slack, Google Docs, Drupal, Toggl)
• Tool type (e.g., "Content management system" "Real-time communication platform") that is an enum. The tool type should be a function of tool (alternatively the tool -> tool type mapping can be a separate table)
• Start and end time of use of tool (to the extent known)
• Notes on how the organization uses the tool; for instance, for organization = GiveWell, tool = Slack, stuff like what's at https://denver-frederick.com/2019/05/04/elie-hassenfeld-co-founder-and-executive-director-of-givewell-joins-denver-frederick/ "We use Slack as our internal chat program, and we have a channel for mistakes."

@riceissa and @sebastiansanchez123, what do you guys think?

This seems fine, but I am wondering what most people would get out of learning this information about an org. I can see some productivity-obsessed people caring about such details, but I think most people care more about less granular details, like the ratio of text to face-to-face communication, or ratio of asynchronous to synchronous communication. These things give a feel for how the org operates without spending time on "irrelevant" details (but they are also harder to find).

I think this also depends on the possibility to find enough information about the tools being used by orgs. But also, if tools are replaced by others at some pace we can't track, I don't know how useful this endeavor would be.
