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 Mindy, how, how did you come up with this idea?

A I was a stay-at-home mom. I was able to stay home with my kids for a long time, um, and then when they were in their teens, I started to think about going back to work, and simultaneously, when I sent my first child off to college, I joined a Facebook parent group, and I saw all the things that the out-of-town families needed for their students, and I realized that, that we had an opportunity, um, To help. Um, I'm a social worker by training, and I just realized that it's very challenging to be far away from your kid, and we could make it much easier and more stress-free. So we launched in 2019, and this year we're, we expanded, and we're now on 11 campuses.
