Not being skeptic but genuinely curious, does the per message pay model drive less succinct answers that require clarification? I imagine that there is little discussion or choice within the student body to select a mentor

Not really, mainly because there's very clearly two kinds of students. The ones who don't talk to their mentors at all outside of the weekly check-in (a single message) and the ones who utilize the mentor to the fullest. So if someone is asking you a question you generally don't have to worry about getting to 10 messages with them because it'll just happen.
