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 →

Luke Feeney 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 And so when you say academic spin-out, most people, they poo-poo on academic spin-outs because usually the university keeps a ridiculously high percentage relative to the value they're going to add to the company over the years. So how did you manage the spin-out? How much equity does the university still own?

A Yeah. So like, and that's a big problem in Europe as compared to the United States. So Stanford, for example, has gone very progressive on that. So they let them spin out and then expect them to give the money back just in firms of like, you know, you're a billion dollar company. Give us a few million there for an endowment. Whereas Europeans are much more, let's get our 10%. And so we, we had a negotiation. We got them down to about four percent. That's about two percent now. That's fine. They still create value for us. We talk about our link to them. We run events on Trinity. You know, they're a big center of innovation. They help us in some international business development as well, a little bit here and there. So, so I think it's a good deal all around.

AI assessment note: “We got them down to about four percent. That's about two percent now.”
