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 →

Dan Bastian 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 Alright, cool. Angie, Dan, I want to bring you in. First of all, thoughts or questions, uh, or ideas for Michelle?

A Well, congratulations, Michelle. It took us 10 years to kind of figure it out before we brought investment on, so we understand the grit and the grind that you've gone through and are continuing to go through. For us, you know, we were in a position back in 2010 where we didn't really need investment, but we found a partner that we thought we could work with and that would enhance the opportunity for us to scale. Because we knew we were at that point of scaling, and so, I mean, for you, it's a matter of, like, when you interview or talk to potential investors, your focus is, you know, you don't want to lose the mission of your brand, of your company, and you can make that decision. I mean, there are investors out there that might only want to do a minority investment with you, which you control. I mean, that's what happened with us, with Sherbrooke Capital, and They took a minority position, and we ran the company no different than when we did before they came on. And you might have some other insight on that.
