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 →

Matt Kepnes 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 Okay. 1.2 million. Great. So now let's go fill in all the blanks. Um, when did you launch nomadic Matt? When did you realize this was something you wanted to build?

A I started the blog in 2008. Uh, after a 14 month trip around the world, I had come back to healthcare and was incredibly bored and was like, screw this. I need to go away again. And so doing what all people in our age brackets tend to do is I thought, well, I need a job. What's the next way to get seen? I should build a website as an online resume. So I did that as a way to get Yeah, basically just be an online resume where editors and potential, you know, websites can see the body of my writing. Um, but over the years, it just sort of grew. And then about 2010, I made it, I made it go as its own platform.
