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 →

Jason Tan 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 Yep, so what would I it say on average, maybe four grand, five grand, something like that? Okay, great. That's helpful to understand. So tell us more, now that we understand the company and kind of the revenue model, tell us more about your backstory, man. What, what happened in 2011 that threw you into this world?

A Yeah, I mean, in 2011, I was still living up in Seattle. Very happy up there. Had a lot of, uh, you know, friends and family. But I think, uh, you know, Having gone through some, some, uh, startups in Seattle, I realized that the beauty of starting a company is that you get to choose your own tribe of folks, and, uh, I was lucky to work with some great folks in Seattle, but I was excited about the challenge of finding my own people, and, you know, I think starting a company, you selfishly get to have some control over you, over who you see in the office, and I think life is short, you know, I think that we should spend time In the office with people that we enjoy learning from, and being challenged by, and solving tough problems with, and having fun with. And so, uh, in 2011, I decided to move down to San Francisco. We went through White Combinator, um, and, you know, six and a half years later, we're still, um, going and building our own tribe.
