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 →

Joey Gilkey 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 Ok, well, now we have to, like, I gotta figure out where to jump around. I'm just curious about so many things. So, I guess, why did you feel like you needed to buy the IP versus just build it from scratch, or the million bucks just bought you so much time?

A Uh, it bought me a ton of time for one. For two, uh, a lot of my competition, again, the goal is to, to both build the moat and pull the drawbridge up from competition. So a lot of folks in my space were starting to, to look at it, see it, use it a little bit. And there were some big behemoth competitors like Memory Blue, abstract marketing and things of that nature on the like outsource sales development world that were starting to get their hands on it. And I was like, if I'm going to protect this and have a unique value prop, I got to own it. And I'm going to dictate who can use it.

Q So fast forward today, you've grown this thing. You bought it for a 200 K cash plus 800 sellers note. What's revenue today at Titan X?

A Titan X is sitting, we just did a small acquisition. Uh, we paid low eight figures for that. Um, and that is in the dialer space. So we acquired a company called Frontspin at the time of this going out. That will be very public. So Frontspin was built for high velocity dialing. Not a very sound business, but an incredibly sound and scalable technology can scale to a million users. And we've been, uh, power users of Frontspin in a lot of different ways. It actually powered the call center in the early days. That's how we know so much about it. It excels in call deliverability. So anyways, uh, today we're sitting at the time of recording this. We're in early 26. We're at 9.7 million error.
