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 →

Matt Grimm 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 And what are we standing in front of right now?

A We are standing in front of, this is our XLUUV. In Australia, these are called Ghost Sharks. Uh, here in America, they're just called the XLUUV. This is a fully robotic submarine, so, uh, no humans on board, no, no people remote controlling, fully autonomous, so you give it a mission, you program some waypoints, you program a mission set of what it's supposed to look for, where it's supposed to drop payloads, uh, when it's supposed to surface. And you send it out on its way and it goes and performs its mission completely autonomously. So, uh, these are designed, uh, at our, um, office in Sydney, Australia, which I had the pleasure of setting up a couple of years ago when we first launched this program. Um, and now they are currently being manufactured in our, uh, our Sydney manufacturing facility that just opened. It's about 75,000 square feet and is capable of making dozens of these a year. And they'll be expanding production for them to our new facility in Quonset, Rhode Island. Uh, where we'll be making both our dive LDs, our smaller submarines, and these big guys for the U.S. market. The, uh, dev test area here is a, an area that is meant to break things. It's the blunt version of it. So, uh, these guys work on figuring out all sorts of ways to break our products. So whether that's spraying it with salt water, as in the case of our little chamber over here, um, I don't know…
