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 of your backstory here, sort of how you got into this. We sort of jumped right into current state of, of, of things, but you learned a lot early on, you moved away from marketplaces, but before we go there, I mean, so what's sort of the sweet spot, right? Like what's a, what's the average customer going to pay you per month to use the technology, the API technology?

A API technology. If you're a prelaunch customer and you're trying to get to market faster and don't really want to have to build out all this infrastructure, hire all the internal teams, et cetera, uh, it'll start at a couple hundred dollars a month. Um, if you're a, a large team, uh, that might have 25 to 50 people, um, and are really trying to change, uh, what your overhead and some costs are, um, that'll run higher. Um, the more, the more you ship, the more you transact, uh, the more you'll pay, but the less on, on a unit level. Um, and, and so we're, we're quite well aligned. Uh, and, and, and we, we, we want to do well when our customers do well.

Q Adam, I just have no context. I don't know the space at all. What is a team of 50 people? How many API calls might they be making per month?

A It depends on how a customer would utilize a utilized API. I mean, we're really sitting, you know, pre-sale transaction and post-sale. Um, so sometimes an auction or a marketplace might want to show their customers what it would cost to ship and fulfill, um, before they buy something to try to build trust, uh, and create a more seamless transaction. Sometimes people might want to just fold it right into the transaction Um, themselves to make for a more seamless checkout. So it really depends on how customers want to orient, um, their businesses, but we do see a pretty clear ratio, um, between, you know, calls, uh, to transactions that we try to articulate to our customers as we go through the purchase and evaluation process.
