Their most notable supported claim

Assertion Supported

Semmelhack: Nest operates as a closed system to control customer experience

“Nest and Tony Fidel, you know, that's a totally closed system right now. And the reason that they did that is because they said we need to a hundred percent own the customer experience so that stuff like that doesn't happen.”

How they sound: not measured why? →

We measure speaking style by listening to the audio itself, and a fair number needs at least 2,000 words from one person on tape we have measured. There is too little of Peter Semmelhack on measured tape to publish a rate. This says nothing about how they speak.
