The Exchanges

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. Full method →

Craig Walker no published score: only 2 usable exchanges on raw tape, and a fair score needs 8+ record → ← everyone

Every exchange below was scored with names hidden, four dimensions each from 1 to 5. An exchange's score is 0.30·directness + 0.30·coherence + 0.25·precision + 0.15·compression. The published score averages the raw tape exchange scores and shrinks small samples toward the cohort mean, so five great answers can't beat twenty good ones. Produced feed rows count only toward coarse estimates, never toward a full score.

Q So both the remote workforce, more distributed sense of partnerships and collaborators, more permeable boundaries. But why can't I just pick up the phone and get on a speaker call and talk to people and collaborate that way?

A So it's, it's interesting. So when we were starting a Uber conference, what we wanted to do coming from like the Google voice background is, Hey, for those 80% of minutes that are being consumed by people just on the phone, the guy who's in the car, the guy who's in the taxi, you're traveling, you're not in front of an ability to get on video. You don't want to still be stuck in that, like, 19 seventies dial-in number, enter a ten-digit pin. Let's focus on a place that everyone's ignored, um, and I think there's, there's awesome partnership opportunities, there's awesome ways to make voice and video work really well together. You're seeing probably more Diverse businesses getting together over video, but still the most, like the, the most intense use case of just audio conferencing is one business getting on a conference call with another or a law firm. You know, like those guys don't talk to their clients on video. They're on the phone all the time. And so how do you do it? You know, how do you make it better without, you know, without having to go compete with all these great guys in the video space?
