    I am skeptical because it seems like productivity often isn't measurable at the individual level. It might be a team effort, or it might depend so much on chance and circumstance that individual efforts aren't comparable. There is also fundamental attribution error, where performance is attributed to the person when in another environment they might have much different performance.
