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 Sure. Like, what was the most surprising pitch to an LP you've ever made?

A Oh sure, a funny one. Uh, so I'm gonna change, change his name to protect the innocent, but, um, we'll call this guy Donny. So we were in Manhattan pitching a bunch of folks in New York, and this is like the last meeting we're taking, and the investor we're meeting with is late, running late to our hotel. He gets there, he shows up, Pulls up in, you know, like a half a million dollar supercar, parks it in front of the hotel. When I say park, like, he double parks, because there's no parking in front of this hotel. He just, like, pulls up, stops in the street, gets out of his car, and they don't have parking or valets, but he, like, finds the, like, bellboy and, like, throws his keys to him and says, you know, park this. And the guy's like, we don't do parking. And so he takes, like, a wad of money out of his pocket. And just, like, shoves it into his hands and is like, I'm gonna be meeting upstairs in the bar for the next hour. Like, make sure it doesn't get towed or nothing happens to it. And that's, that's like how the meeting starts with this guy. So, we're thinking this is gonna be a, like, a total waste of our time, and this guy's just gonna be a huge a-hole, right?
