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 →

Ray Hames 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 That's very impressive. Okay, so did you have a partner, like, were you a hundred percent owner of WorkSandy?

A No, so, um, I had a co-founder at WorkSandy. We had started the business together in 2017, and as I was saying, we got to the end of last year and looked at ourselves and said, we've got two different business models in play, um, we've got a successful business here, but we know that there's an opportunity to grow this side of the business, and I've always been really interested in scalable technology, like, you know, I've been in the Bay Area for 13 years, you don't spend that much time there without... Try something yourself. Um, and, you know, we made the decision that I was going to take the tech side, um, and spin that out, and he, um, the trade-off is that for the IP, Sandy and my co-founder have a little bit of equity on the cap table with Team Era. Oh, I see. And, you know, and in exchange, I left the cap table of Sandy, um, with a little bit of an exit clause that if that business ever gets acquired or sold, then I get to see a little piece of that pie. I see. Ultimately.

Q I could, if I clicked Book a demo on your site, and you were on a demo, and you show me your UI. Like, are you going to basically, like, do I post a job on Tamera, and then you're aggregating from Fiverr, and Upwork, and Freelancer.com, and all the sites, and you're showing me, you know, candidates to hire and manage your platform. Like, what's the software actually do?

A So what it's designed to do is to help brands manage their own pool of freelancers. Um, this is really built from the insight that every single creative director I've ever worked with has their own Rolodex of freelancers that they're literally calling up on a phone every time they have a new role saying, are you available? What's your schedule like? Can I book you in? And that's a really time consuming process. Um, and there's some brands, you know, that have made it maybe a little more down the line in terms of sophistication, but ultimately most people I know are still operating in freelance spreadsheets. Who do they know? Who do they want to bring in? And this helps brands who are bringing on, say, five to even up to 50 freelancers at a time, um, bring the right people into the, into the fold. And so what the actual UI looks like is that, to answer your question, is that they're uploading their own talent data, um, we're sending invites to those folks to build their profiles, and then we're able to manage those contacts and relationships and You know, obviously keeping those profiles active is something that every talent marketplace, um, struggles with, and I've got a lot of background on that. Um, but ultimately helping brands keep tabs on their favorite freelancers, and then, you know, if and when there's gaps to fill, we can help fill those roles through, we've got, you k…
