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 →

David Sacks no published score: only 1 usable exchange 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 The math just, like, the math doesn't work, right?

A Yeah, it doesn't. But, and, and, and I think there has been a correction, so the correction evaluation started with the, the super late stage stuff, because what happened is the, the crossover investors who had come into the market, like the Tigers and so on, They just got their faces ripped off, so they basically just got out of the market, and so the super late stage rounds is where liquidity just dried up, and then it started trickling down, and so, you know, first Series C was hard, and then Series B got hard. I mean, everyone who's kind of around earlier can look forward and see, oh, wait a second, there's no one to market my deal anymore. I better be, like, really conservative.

AI assessment note: “Yeah, it doesn't. But, and, and, and I think there has been a correction”
