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 →

Eric Min 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 someone, Eric, someone's listening right now. They want to buy this. What do they have to have for, for, for like physically for Zwift to work?

A Right. So the, the most basic setup would be your iPad. And, um, there's a, there's something called a trainer that can attach to your traditional bicycle that turns it essentially into a stationary bike. There are a couple of sensors, Bluetooth sensors, and voila, it gets connected to, to our game, which is running on iOS. It also runs on PC and Mac, and then we, based on your weight, how fast you're, you're pedaling, and, and a couple of other factors, we propel you in the game. So your weight matters. The kind of equipment that you have in the game actually matters. The terrain that you're riding on in the game matters. All of these things factor into, you know, how, and the drafting within the game. These are all things that you, you take for granted, but it's all, you know, happens in the real world. And we take all of that and model that and, and, and turn that into an experience in the game.

Q Very good. So tell us, kick us off here. Tell us what Zwift does, and what's your revenue model? How do you generate money?

A Uh, so Zwift is simply, uh, you know, creating a virtual space where, you know, cyclists can, can interact with each other, uh, in real time. We're trying to recreate the, the social, um, uh, all the social aspects of, of cycling that, uh, that so many of us really enjoy. It's a, it's a personal problem that I tried to, uh, to solve. Um, you know, coming from New York and living in London, All of my network being in New York City, I thought, um, you know, could we, could I recreate some of the social network that I had before in a way that just wasn't available? And, you know, could we do that through a gaming platform and, and create a social network where, you know, the interaction is, is, is real and physical.
