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 →

Nick Hollinger 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 Yeah, that's interesting. So, so, I mean, most people, that's the hardest part, right, is getting the initial cash to get started. So it sounds like you took a loan out from a bank and personal guaranteed it?

A Uh, no, I was fresh out of school. I had some cash that I'd saved up, uh, and put that into the company to get started. I found a co-founder who had the technical piece that we needed, uh, so we could really do this thing, uh, incredibly, uh, cost effective. Uh, and then once we started, uh, hitting some, uh, revenue, uh, and, and finding those growth channels that we needed, we, uh, went and got, uh, a loan from, uh, what's in Canada. It's called the Business Development Bank of Canada, uh, and they do business loans for, for smaller companies, Uh, and take a personal guarantee on them. Uh, but that was already after we had revenue to, to kind of increase our marketing spend.
