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 →

Tony DeRosa 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 What part of the, it's a, I think in having a diversified revenue stream is really critical in, in, in this business and it's the same happening with wine. Which of these three businesses are you seeing the most growth potential right now? And, and then which one right now is the most profitable?

A You know, there, there are much better margins selling classes and workshops, obviously, because you're not dealing with cost of food, cost of, you know, the, a lot of the labor I'm providing in that, you know, we've run them for large companies, small companies, a lot of university teams that is both growing and the most profitable. So it's just kind of the same part. I would say it's the, it's the workshops and we've started to get bigger. Leads. I did some competitive analysis and learned I was way underpricing my workshops compared to competitors like second city, which has a lot of gravitas and name recognition in the comedy world. So I am, I am cognizant of that, but I felt that when I looked at what we were charging, I actually got feedback from a client. So just so you know, your bid was 20% of what second city had quoted us. I was like, okay, it is time to really evaluate that. And, um, I, you know, I'm looking at that as probably where I could even be spending more of my time, uh, to, you know, benefit companies, kind of tell that story of how improv can be a really powerful tool for business. And, uh, and as you said, have kind of these mini CEOs running some of the more hospitality driven business units.

AI assessment note: “selling classes and workshops... that is both growing and the most profitable.”
