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 Why is everyone doubling down on this investment? I'll give you a hint. Two words. It rhymes with cervical bass.

A I saw this as a really nice vertical SaaS solution, right? Like, hey, she's got customers. This is, it's checking all the boxes for us. Valuation was competitive. Founding team is really compelling. But as we had conversations with customers, and as we had conversations with co-investors, I think the opportunity and the size of the opportunity became more and more apparent to us. Jamis has a very clear path to a 10 X exit on this type of business, but that's just the baseline. We think, you know, even Entrada will say they think the opportunity is probably closer to a hundred X here. And that has really increased our level of conviction to the point where we wanted to increase our target ownership percentage within the business.
