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 →

Maarten Verwaest 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 what were you doing? I mean, did you, were you in film and you quit and said, I'm sick of editing with things all over the place in hard drives. I'm making a cloud solution.

A That's an excellent question. I was at the other side of the table. Um, I was lead engineer, uh, of the research and development department at Verte. Uh, so I was personally responsible for the digitization of their newsroom, um, procuring, uh, a piece of software, uh, That we, we spent millions, uh, in, in topics, um, at 18 months in implementation, and I said to my fellow colleagues, whom co-founded the company, hey guys, if they give us, um, just a fraction of that cost, we build it from scratch, and that's because the world of media production is, has been completely disrupted and has fundamentally changed And, uh, our customers, uh, that sometimes still try to tackle it with a software that has been designed 20 years ago to manage a tape archive. That's not suitable for a file-based workflow.
