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 →

Art Pappas 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.

And if they find a good company, they're going to keep it. Why did they let you go to insight?

A Yeah. Good question. So we were the last investment To liquidate out of the Foundation One fund. So Foundation One was their first fund that was geared at midsize growth companies, and all the other investments had been huge home runs, and they were like, look, we can close down the fund. There's a lot of interest in Bullhorn, and once they closed down the fund, the returns on that fund were just unbelievable. Like, it was an unbelievable fund, and so there was, I think there was a, There was a sense that if the price was right, and it was a return that looked in line with the rest of the portfolio, that they had some deals that were, like, 10 X, and so it was a good outcome.
