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.

A So I had a six month, uh, sabbatical. I had written a business plan. It was a, it was a pretty poor business plan. It was back with a cigarette packet type thing. I'd put it in a drawer. Um, and I really wasn't looking to do anything quickly. I'd been working with a couple of businesses as a, and as a, as an advisor, as helping one of them raise some money. And I'd started to do a little bit of angel funding. Um, and then the opportunity came along and I thought, you know what, I'm going to get that business plan out. We were called Rockabox back then. We rebranded to Scooter in two, and for me it was, I'd started to see in the market that, um, there was, there was a shifting dynamic. The online publishers were losing audiences to Facebook and other social media. Brands were trying to work out how to communicate to social, with inside social media, social channels. And I felt that the market needed to move to a phase where content would become an interesting, um, device for marketing. And that's what my business plan had been about, and it felt by the end of 2007, it felt like it was the right time to start to talk about content, and so I created Rockerbox. I launched Rockerbox and brought in a co-founder, um, who had a background in television. We then...
