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 →

George Revutsky 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 on, and 500,000 dollars or more in annual free cash flow, as the owner, how do you decide what to do with that cash? Do you, do you put it out as, Profit sharing. Do you leave it in the business? Do you put it into your own fund and then invest in real estate? What do you do with it?

A So what's, what's smart to do with, you know, the cashflow. And again, you know, the, the two million is sort of what we're, what we're projecting this year. It was a little bit less last year. Um, what, what we, uh, what we like to do is be conservative and, you know, make sure that we have a really safe place for all of our team members. Uh, and so we try to keep some cash in the bank, make sure that, um, You know, we, even if like we lost half or even two thirds of all of our clients, we would still have like six months of runway for everybody. We wouldn't have to let anybody go. That's been kind of just my philosophy. Um, and then, you know, we do a bonus. Uh, we're pretty generous with bonuses. People don't really know when to expect them except they get them three or four times a year, uh, when they perform or when the company or the accounts they work on perform well. They get bonus. Uh, it's kind of a joke at our, our, our, our team is like, Hey, it's Tuesday. Is it bonus day? Because you never know when they happen, but they happen as soon as the company or the individual just outperforms.

Q Okay. All right. And then what is the, uh, uh, again, that's kind of your average A kind of retainer. Walk us through, and you said unique customers, you have over, you've worked with over a hundred. How many are you working with at any given time?

A You know, lately we've actually changed our model because we used to have, you know, 15 or 20, and we'd have these smaller retainers. We do a lot of PPC work, some SEO, um, a lot of CRO, and now we've kind of shifted to where we'll take on, like, uh, and go deeper with clients. That's kind of over the last few years, um, especially, like, clients that, um, you know, maybe, uh, just got their Series A or just got their Series B, uh, and they need, like, a growth team of Four to six people to start like tomorrow and start making your monthly numbers. Um, so now we get larger retainers and we take on less clients.
