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 →

May Alkaruni 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 Fascinating. Okay, give us the backstory. When did you launch the company?

A Yeah. So it was about five years ago, my background's investment banking, and, um, funny enough, we just moved offices across the road. So ironically, I used to fundraise for the old school venture capital trusts and hedge funds and property funds. And, um, the facilities guys came around and said, you know, um, pick your new carpet color tile and your new table and your chair and your computer. And I was like, what are you doing with all this? And they were like, we're just binning it. Um, and buying new assets. So I got chatting to them and I was like, that's crazy. You're going to give them to nonprofits, charities, or people that need it. And obviously at the time, I'm going back probably about seven years when this happened, they were like, you know, no, we have nothing in place. Sustainability wasn't really a thing. There was no pressure on banks, obviously, to do the right thing. And it's too much hassle for them, right? Um, you know, their job is basically get the stuff out, get everyone in. And I'm talking to them. It cost them around 50,000 pounds per person to make the move. And literally we went across the road and we kept the buildings and, um, we had 300 people in the building. So I just thought that was kind of commercial madness and why did no one ever digitalize waste and connect these enterprises to people who needed it, like charities and small businesses. So…
