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 →

Aaron Rubin no published score: no usable exchanges 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 So tell a story of the one you, of one or two that you closed. Like, how are you getting your first couple dozen customers?

A So, uh, Shopify app store was the first year, not anymore, but that was in the early days. There was, it was like a barren wasteland out there for if you needed software. I remember talking to the head of, um, BizDev then. BizDev or the app store is like all combined. They were much smaller than, and I said, Hey, we're building this product and it's got all this automation and you could use iPads in the warehouse and it's gonna serve your bigger customers. And we're like, you know, people that are doing a few hundred orders a day, at least he's like, yeah, we don't have those customers. You're in the wrong spot. Shopify back then only had the tiny, tiny customers, but as they were growing and they got those bigger customers, there was no one to serve them.
