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 →

Michel (Mike) van Velde 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.

A Oh, it was pretty easy actually. Yeah. Um, the funny thing was, um, I started with two second hand laptops. Um, I registered myself at the, the trade register and that evening my wife gave party at home and she said, okay, Mike, um, it's really interesting that you have a company, but do not give your, Uh, your business cards to every people, to, to all my friends, please don't do so. So the first person that comes in starts telling me a story that he just started a, uh, a company and that he needed a website, um, and, and basically, uh, a brand strategy, everything. So, and that's where I basically got my first client. Um, and then I approached several of my, my, well, basically my, my, my, my closest friends in, in my network, uh, Who worked at large brands. Um, and well, they, they believed my story and they gave me my first opportunities.
