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 →

Silas Reddy 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 How did you convince investors to give you a five million dollar cap on a pre-revenue company?

A Um, I think it was mostly the team. Um, um, like I said, we, we, all three of us are second time entrepreneurs by the way. Uh, this is my second startup. Even my co-founder has done a startup before both of them. Uh, and this is our second startup. And, um, I think we are well-rounded team. You know, I'm a non-techie. I take care of marketing and other needs. I have a techie founder who takes care of all the tech. Uh, related tech and product, right? So it's a well-rounded team. Uh, and we feel it's a fairly large market that we're going behind. I think these are a few reasons why, uh, VCs were gracious enough to give us a check.
