Every argument clarity score on this site is built from rows on this page. Each
question and answer was assessed with names hidden, the host's own answers included, on
four things from 1 to 5:
directness (does it answer the question asked), coherence (do the ideas follow),
precision (concrete details and clear references), compression (says a lot per word). The weighted
mix (30/30/25/15) is the exchange score. A person's published score averages their exchange
scores on raw tape only, at least 8 of them, shrunk toward the cohort mean.

A Yeah, absolutely. So maybe before I answer your question, just to I'd like to point out two things because that sometimes came up in, in, in, in reactions to our article. I, you know, A, I'm absolutely convinced that a good VC can provide tremendous value beyond the pure provisioning of equity or financing means. And, and B, uh, while I remain very skeptical, and we will dive into that, about current professional VC claims regarding value on the operational side of things, That's where the platform idea comes in. I, I do accept the fact that there are obviously cases where these platforms can be helpful, you know, but, um, um, now this being said, I'm, What I'm actually trying to do is, and what I tried to do with the article is to, to point out that founders should see through the marketing hype and concentrate on those elements of value add that, in my view, really count, and that will make the difference on the difficult path to build successful company in the innovation space.
