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 →

Greg Eisenberg no published score: no 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 Yeah. I mean, you talk about this idea of spies, like your spies that are on the internet that are helping you mine for these ideas. What are kind of your favorite tools that you use as Greg's personal spies to bring back ideas to you?

A So I'll give one mini playbook on one tool that pretty much everyone listening knows, but probably doesn't use it to come up with business ideas. And it's Product Hunt. So not many people know this, but on Product Hunt, there's a, uh, tab under the product, on the product tab that says Launch Archive. And basically, Product Hunt's been around for 10 plus years, and it's basically an index. There's a calendar view. You can actually go and check, so you can go and scroll down, On Product Hunt and go to like, I don't know, uh, January, 1620 14. And it'll list all these, uh, top products. So I'm looking right now, I see first opinion, text the doctor for free, kimono, never read a web scraper again, founder suite, tools to get startup shit done. So you can see that there's a bunch of these ideas, um, that have been out there and have been validated in the sense that they have some amount of consumer demand. The interesting thing is, well, it's actually a few things. One is A bunch of ideas, like, people just post on Product Hunt, it gets traction, and then this, like, indie hacker just gives up on it for whatever reason. It could be they got a full-time job, it could be, uh, they were able to build the product but not get sustainable growth, um, but it doesn't mean that that isn't a good business idea to take and remix as your own. So, um, My playbook to people is, if you're lookin…
