Straight Answers
An LLM assessed 275 question → answer exchanges, the host's own answers included. Speaker names were hidden during assessment. Each exchange was marked answered, partly, redirected or not addressed, with a quote as its source. Every exchange below is timestamped and plays. How it works →
These readings are observational: the transcript shows whether the question was answered directly, whatever the reason. It is an AI reading of a public exchange, never a claim about intent, and the tape is one tap away on every row. full disclaimer →
Nobody here carries a rate, and that is deliberate: rates are not published without enough raw tape, which means 8 or more assessed questions on raw, unedited recordings, and every Founder's Journal episode we hold is the produced feed. So this page counts instead of rating. Every one of the 41 people on the record is accounted for: 33 have their questions counted (4 of them with at least one not answered directly), and the remaining 8 never took a direct question in any tape we hold: compilations, panels and cameo appearances leave nothing to assess.
No needle for Jesse Pujji: fewer than 8 assessed questions on raw tape, and a percentage on a sample that small would mislead. Their counts are real: 0 not answered directly in 1 assessed question, edited feed included.

Every count on this page comes from the produced feed: no raw unedited tape of Founder's Journal exists in our library. Rates are not published without enough raw tape, so this page counts and shows no percentage. This is a reading of a transcript. It is not an accusation of dishonesty, and there are many good reasons not to answer a question directly (confidential numbers, unreleased products, someone else's news to break).
