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 →

Brad Birnbaum 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 All right, so tell us about customer.com. Again, it's customer with a K. What do you guys do, and what's the revenue model? Is it a pure play SaaS company?

A Yeah, it's a, it's a SaaS, it's a SaaS business. Um, so, um, customer with a K, we are all about, um, Building a platform to understand everything about your customers and supporting them on top of that platform. So more specifically, um, When customers go to a company to seek support, most of the time companies are using a standard ticketing system. And those ticketing systems know very little about the customer, right? They, uh, a customer may email it, may email in, Hey, I have a problem with this pair of pants I ordered. If it's, let's say an e-commerce company. Um, but more often than not, the company can't relate it to an order. They don't know anything about that customer. They don't know that their most recent order was, uh, invoice number one, two, three, four, you know, skew five, six, seven, eight size, you know, X. They don't know anything about it. And then they can't actually action it inside of the support system, inside of that support channel. So customer is all about a platform to orchestrate all of that. So we, we, we, we know everything about the customer. Um, most of our implementations will have tremendous amount of data coming in from different data sources. Uh, could be from your e-commerce systems, Shopify, Spree, Magento, Wufoo, et cetera. Um, or lots of homegrown systems. We're seeing, we're seeing immense amount of integrations with lots of, uh, cust…

Q Um, was that because you had to, because the deal terms or because you chose to?

A Uh, it was a little bit of both, but, uh, no, it was, it was a, it was a great company to learn from and spend some cycles and I enjoyed my time there. Um, but, uh, yeah, you know, moving on when, when, when my co-founder and I decided to start customer, um, You know, we wanted a modern platform like the Salesforce platform is 20 years old, right? And if you ever had to use it, it's all built on Apex and Sokol and a whole bunch of very proprietary, um, solutions that, that, um, you know, modern apps don't really use it at this point anymore. So we knew that the world needed something, something started today, right? You know, I often, I often hold this up and say, this is only 10 years old, right? Um, the iPhone, right? So Just think about how the world has evolved in the last 20 years and the technologies you would build platforms on today versus 20 years ago and the ways that you would make it easier for, for, for people to build amazing apps on top of. It's a, it's just a different situation and that's, that's, that's why we've done it, right? I, I believe, um, wholeheartedly that every decade, uh, technologies and products need to be reinvented. Um, the world changes so rapidly.
