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 →

Noah Kagan 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 Now, how did you come up with the idea for Sumo Jerky? The, the company that you came up with as an experiment to show that your ideas for validating business ideas and growing them actually do work. Um, how did you come up with that idea?

A Um, so the original idea was like, hey, people all want to talk about starting businesses. Let me exactly show you how to do it. So with AppSumo, we emailed everyone and said, you guys can choose which business I'll start. And the three options were lemonade, salsa, and jerky. And I, you know, I could have been fine starting either three of those, but I think one of the things that I've really took to heart this past probably 18 months, especially since we started the monthly one K course, is doing things that I enjoy. And so I eat jerky almost every day. And it's something that I have a lot of knowledge about. I know what the costs are. I know what the different brands are. And it's, and I frankly think when you're, you know, a lot of people, I was talking to some, talking to this nail salon girl yesterday. I got a pedicure.
