6 assertions · 1 opinion · 1 disclosure · every statement was checked.

No argument clarity score for Sheryl Sandberg: no usable question→answer exchanges on raw tape (a fair score needs 8+). We do not score a sample that small.

Measured by listening to 4,831 words across 1 episode, but every recording we have of Sheryl Sandberg is the aired feed, and an editor cleaned that audio before release. Some of the hesitation was cut before we ever heard it, so read these as floors: the true rates are at least this high. These are measurements of speaking style, not scores. How it's measured →
