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 →

Thomas van der Kleij 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 good. What's growth? Where were you at about a year ago?

A Well, we used to do, uh, 100% year over year. Um, but we launched a new website in February of this year, and that completely, completely killed our conversion rates. Uh, and it took us quite a while to sort of, like, find out what was going on. We got a lot of things we liked about the new website because we, like, we realign our mission and vision. We're looking for a different kind of customer. Um, but it took a little while to find out what was actually, you know, um, holding back customers from signing up. Uh, and we actually just, you know, we got back on track about, about a month ago. So we're now like starting, starting to pump again.

Q How bad, like when they forced you out or what happened?

A No, they were just, it, they ended up not really understanding the business. Uh, and they were putting in a lot of pressure on us and making us do the wrong things. Um, and in the end, uh, I wanted to, you know, it, it, it really depends also on how you define success, right? So for some people, hyper growth is success for me in this company is much more, uh, it's much more holistic thing. So I, you know, I'm for, for one, I'm very, very picky about whom I work with, uh, like extremely picky because, you know, like Working is my hobby, so if I want to go to the office, I want it to be, I want it to be, like, amazing there, and I want really nice people around me.
