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.

Q How did you, how'd you come up with this idea?

A Yeah, so, um, I moved to London last year, or me and my, my girlfriend moved to London last year, and we moved into a small flat. We were average chair users, both of us. We had one chair that was just filled with all the crap, but our bedroom didn't have space for the chair, and I realized that I would just put my clothes on the floor, and the chair is bad, but the floor was just, like, terrible for me, and I was, like, picking my clothes up off the floor, putting them on, going outside, and that was, that was terrible for me, so I thought, I can make something better here. And then it's read it on a couple of times and then got something for myself. My girlfriend used it all the time. And she was, she's one of those people who she loves me, but she wouldn't have, she would have said, John, this is not a good product, but she was using it every day. And I thought maybe there's something here. And so I Googled factories in Vietnam who make furniture and we got, we got a sample made, got a couple of samples made. Weren't good the first time, and then we had a Kickstarter. Kickstarter went well, and now we have a business.
