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 →

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, interesting. How do you do that? Because I imagine Amazon guards the hell out of that stuff.

A Absolutely. So basically what we do is we, in order to unlock Profits Engine, you have to put in your, um, Amazon's, your secret key, um, and we've already got around about eight and a half million pounds, um, sterling worth of, um, transactional data points in amazon.co.uk and about 16 and a half million US dollars, um, in data points in amazon.com. And what we do is we build out an algorithm, and then we move that across every single one of the, um, The categories to, to, to make a prediction on what that product's going to sell like. And the more, the more students that come on and give us our, give us their secret key, and the more selling data that we get, then the more, the more expansive the algorithm becomes.
