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 →

Steve Holmes 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 Steve, I understand there's high demand. How has Springfree altered its distribution network, um, during, during this moment of significant disruption in the operation of your distributors?

A Sure. Let me, let me just share. So we, you know, we, we sell product around the world. Um, we didn't know when the first, when this shutdown started to Take place. We, we gathered as a senior management group, and we were actually worried about the opposite happening. That things would go, and we wouldn't be able to ship trampolines, that lockdowns would take place, and we wouldn't be able to ship anything. And so we, we kind of said, oh man. And I, I walked into the meeting, and I said, look, we're going to do three things. We're going to turn product into cash. We are going to create cash as best we can. So if we have partners who have extended receivables terms, they're out. We're going to change our distribution strategy. We're not doing this on credit. We need to create cash. We need to preserve cash, and we absolutely cannot cut staff. And number three is the reason we're doing this is not because we're trying to save ourselves. We're trying to preserve that cash that we might leverage going forward to be able to take advantage of opportunities wisely. So we cut out almost all of our big retailers. We had a big retailer right at the start who sent us a notice and say, we, we're in 90 day terms with them. And they sent us a note and said, we're going to a 180 day terms. And we said, have a nice day. You're not seeing any more.
