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 →

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.

A I mean, I think if you're a geek, you feel like you're coming home if you go to San Francisco. I mean, these, these billboards with these in-jokes about technology, and the, the guy at the rental car place who starts talking about his startup, and, I mean, in that way, it's really, it's really exciting. Sometimes it, it does feel like it's a, it's a town that's so dominated by technology that you wonder if any, if any ideas really get shouted down. Um, whereas I think in, in a city like London, You can get your ideas shattered down by lots of people pretty quickly. People that don't really care about technology. Um, and I think that's, that's a refreshing thing to have as an entrepreneur. It's what you need. You need to be tested, um, and you need to have people that, um, that aren't from the technology world, and aren't, aren't necessarily excited about technology, understand what the benefit you're bringing is.
