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.

Q it was important because the valuations were insane compared to the value that they were actually providing. I think the number of people they had, I mean, you look at Twitter, like Elon Musk, what fired like 9000 people. What did Twitter need nine or 10,000 people for? What were they doing? The company doesn't even make that much money. It like loses money every quarter and has for years.
A No, I mean that, and that's exactly. There was this mad rush. Everything, everything was scaling. Jobs were opening. People were doing, you know, four month Google UX certs, and they're demanding a 120,000 a year salaries. And, you know, six months ago, they hadn't been in digital at all. It was a, it was a wild couple of years. And, and I, I I'll reserve my personal opinions, but I will say just from the outside on Twitter, Uh, I think that was the right move. I, I, I totally align with you. I'm like, how do you need. 10,000 people. Um, you had 10,000 people to spare, to run a, a fairly, you know, what started as a fairly straightforward technology. Um, so yeah, where, you know, if there were initiatives driving that, that human growth, um, I didn't see a ton of Twitter evolution. Uh, it's still a 144 character, uh, chat tool. So.

Q would include finding me opportunities to be a speaker, finding me opportunities to do these things, right? It's like the helping to actually build the brand so that I can just do the content, like filming of the content and the advisory, um, for this. So like I'm envisioning how many people do I need to do all of those things? And the answer is probably another two or three.
A Probably not much to have a seven figure brand as of right now, because I would, I think I, everything you just said, I love, but as of right now, because if that starts to work, it goes back to the thing you just told another client that if you don't see the bottleneck, you're the bottleneck. So, and that's of course, based on your ambition of like, you know, if you need even more now, you might be like, I need to hire somebody that helps me spot where I'm going to be investing and continue scaling speaking engagements. I mean, The point is, I completely align with, with everything you just said. I, I just also think it's, uh, it's prudent to think about the, the fact that that is probably, that is the right now view a year from now when that's working, when that's working, then it's, It's a whole new reset of like, okay, well now it's probably two to three more or two. Uh, at least that's been, you know, I thought I just need a few people right now. We're going to ride this for, for the year and, and, and grow on that. And, and that has changed. I, I, one of the people I didn't think I would need is a, a head of talent, but I, I do, and we've hired one and she's phenomenal. Uh, you know, and she's supporting recruitment efforts, interview efforts, uh, all of those things that, Um, because a part of our business is we do some of that for our clients. So, uh, she was, um, a nec…

Q Do you have a number that you would, you would need to take before you would allow yourself to be acquired?
A Um, I, I have benchmarks of what Matic needs to be performing at before I would, I would get there. Um, you know, we are, we're in our second year. Um, I would like to see Matic performing, um, and, and growing to, you know, a, a 40 person operation, um, with, you know, incredibly strong, uh, client bonds where we're, we're, we're, you know, really tethered To, to the vision of our clients and partnered in, um, not on a project vendor scale at every moment. Um, so that's a, that's a bar that's, you know, starting to, to pull ourselves up on. Um, but we're very young. So, you know, 40th person consultancy, you know, doing a revenue, uh, of 20 plus million a year. That's around the, that's the growth goal for Matic over the next five years. And that could dictate a lot about what that number might be to be quite, but at the same time, you know, um, the, the team that that's helping me build Matic, um, You know, the commitment, the dedication, like ensuring, like it's not my number, it's, it's the number that works for everybody if that happens. And if that's, you know, whether that's a number or just assured success, um, that's, that's kind of our, our bottom line right now is building out against this culture, against the types of work we're doing, against the types of people we're doing it with, um, ensuring that, you know, I mean, I've assembled a team of, Former Deloitte and …
