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 Wonderful. Thank you. I guess you, I'm sure you're overwhelmed with, uh, requests. Uh, how do you, how do you select?

A Oh, that's a great question. So, um, we're actually overwhelmed with requests on both sides. We have about 10,000 volunteers in the database looking for projects. Sorry if you're one of them. And, uh, hundreds of organizations coming in. So, we tend to actually select based on the project first. So, we spend a lot of time consulting up front. Organizations will come in. We'll say, what's your challenge? What's your data? Let's craft a project. And then we actually do kind of a top-down, ah, you know, match of who's got the right skills for the project that we're looking for. It's actually not as data-driven as I would like it to be, but, you know, cobbler's kids go without shoes.
