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 →

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 you've launched, your product is out there, and nobody uses it. What do you do?

A Um, crying. Um, again, like the best founders just view everything, like we were talking about earlier, like they're learning their sponges, and so I think they just treat this as something, like a problem they need to solve and diagnose. You want to look at, like, where is, like, why are you not getting any users or customers? Where's the drop-off? I think you treat it like an analytical problem, like, is it because people aren't returning my, like, replying my emails, like, asking to give them a demo? Okay, like, Can I tweak the messaging? Is that what's going on? Am I targeting the wrong people? And then you just like week by week, you're like, okay, like you tweak one variable. Like, okay, I'm going to try a different messaging, copy my emails, see if I get more people booking demos. Um, and if that works, great. And if it doesn't, you're like, okay, like maybe I'm just targeting the wrong people. Maybe I'm trying to sell into like thousand person enterprise companies and I should be targeting smaller companies. Like I always find like, it's like tweaking those variables one by one is like how you kind of dig yourself out of The whole, let's say you've launched your app that you've been out there for a little bit of time and you still just don't have users or growth. Like, how do you know when it's time to keep tweaking and how do you know when it's time to just like call i…
