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 →

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 Can you talk more about why you bootstrapped it and how that experience has been?

A Yeah, for sure. Well, first off, like, it wasn't meant to be this huge company, you know? Like, when you're an entrepreneurial kid, you start lots of businesses. Like, I had, you know, started when I was five years old selling things outside my house, and it evolved into, like, eBay buying, selling, trading cards and stuff. So, this was just one of Many different things that I started, and it just so happened to really take off over time, but in the beginning, it was just like, startups love swag, and there's not the go-to brand in the space to, you know, that every startup goes to, you know, because if you think of business cards, everyone went to Moo, you know, stickers, everyone goes to sticker mule, but swag was a much bigger market, you know, and corporate gifting is a two hundred billion dollar market.
