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 →

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 you, uh, for coming on, and you, you have quite a history. We didn't get into kind of the bio, but tell us very quickly, you launched Metamore Technologies back in 1985 and really cut your teeth hardcore, uh, kind of in, you know, the, the business launching space. What was the thesis behind that company? And then take us forward to today. How'd you get involved with Dialog Tech?

A Absolutely. So this is my third rodeo, as they say in the trade. Uh, what I do for a living is I build, uh, high tech companies. I've had the good fortune to sell two of those to publicly traded entities. Uh, Dialog Tech of all of the companies I've been involved in has the most potential. Metamore Technologies was a very simple business. It was a system integration business on a fixed price basis. We built large software systems for major brands. So we built the regional claim system for UnitedHealthcare, a billing system for TransUnion. There used to, in the old days, before cell phones, there used to be phones on the airplanes. We built the billing system for GT Airphone and others. That business scaled to about 500 professionals and sports staff, and was sold to a publicly traded company called Core Staff. Then I built another entity.
