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 →

Ari Ewan 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 us what, what it's obviously you launched in 2014, it's now 2016, two years later. What does giftstarter do and how do you make money?

A So gift starter is still around, but, um, over the past two years, we've now focused a hundred percent on the consumer side of the business. And so gift start is a destination for consumers. Um, we allow people to take anything that's sold online and make it, um, into affordable chunks. So that's like a thousand dollar soda for a sofa. It's really hard for one person to afford. Well, just, um, why not break it into 20 dollar affordable pieces or 50 dollar affordable pieces? And then your friends and family can come in and buy one piece for 20 dollars or five pieces for a hundred dollars. Once it's funded, we ship you the actual sofa. And so it's a full end to end automated process, everything from sourcing the products that are sold online to fulfilling it. So it's basically crowdfunding or friend funding for e-commerce.

AI assessment note: “we allow people to take anything that's sold online and make it, um, into affordable chunks.”
