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 →

Justin McGill 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 Pretty, pretty small equity round. Most people will do convertible, none of that size. Why'd you decide to do an equity round?

A We don't plan on doing another round, you know, like this is going to be just basically a, it's a one shot deal. Um, you know, we, we kind of have the business structured where we're not going to need to raise more. So we kind of wanted to keep that bootstrapped mindset, I guess, uh, and bring them on as kind of more so as partners. I mean, I was very specific about who we brought on as investors. Um, these were people that, you know, listen to like the zero to scale podcast, for example, so they understood how we operated, you know, kind of the way I, I approach business. And so they came to us and, um, you know, I, I look at them more as partners, I guess, than I do actual investors.
