These readings are observational: the transcript shows whether the question was answered directly, whatever the reason. It is an AI reading of a public exchange, never a claim about intent, and the tape is one tap away on every row. full disclaimer →
Every one of the 227 people on the record is accounted for: 5 carry a full rate (8 or more assessed questions on raw tape), 149 more have their questions counted (24 of them with at least one not answered directly; too few raw questions for a fair percentage, edited feed included), and the remaining 73 never took a direct question in any tape we hold: compilations, panels and cameo appearances leave nothing to assess.
Parker Gilbert: every exchange, playable
The question Pablo asked, then the AI assessment note from the answer. Tap to play the moment. Not addressed = the question was not engaged; redirected = acknowledged, then steered elsewhere.
“My understanding is you raised, you know, solid kind of, I think four million seed kind of right out of the gate. What was that, what was that process like?”
answered: “started this kind of on nights and weekends with my two co-founders”
“And, uh, I'm curious, especially in that first year, because I assume that was when any challenges, like, what were some of the main challenges? Do you have any, like, punch-to-the-face moments where things didn't look as clean, let's say, as you might have hoped?”
answered: “a big moment for us was, was kind of making this transition”
“Like, what, what's the story around there? How did that happen?”
answered: “the Series A, like, name is, you know, it's kind of hand wavy”

Percentages come from raw unedited recordings only: produced podcast audio has tangents and stumbles cut in the edit, which moves the speaker up by about 12 percentile points. The small-sample counts include the produced feed. This is a reading of a transcript. It is not an accusation of dishonesty, and there are many good reasons not to answer a question directly (confidential numbers, unreleased products, someone else's news to break).
