It is absolutely possible to calculate engineering productivity at the product level. The arithmetic is very simple. It’s far more difficult at the individual level, though.

Revenue per employee is one, total investment per dollar of ARR is another, and so on.

It amazes me to see high salaries at companies which are engineering heavy and the revenue per employe is significantly below the median TC for the median engineer.
