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 →

Philip Soffer 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 So, okay. So walk me through this dynamic. You're, you're currently CEO, but it sounds like you're not the founder. What, what happened there?

A Well, so, uh, I was, uh, I was actually recruited to be the CEO in 2016. So the money, uh, that was put in, uh, the previous year was designed to, uh, to, to underwrite a U S expansion. So test IO originally is a, is a German company, uh, based in Berlin. Uh, but obviously the biggest market for software testing services is going to be in the U S because we develop a lot of software here. Uh, and so, uh, the board, uh, understood that it would be valuable to have somebody with some Silicon Valley or U S experience. And so that was the Auspices under which I was, I was hired. Uh, and the company didn't actually have a CEO at that time.
