It’s like a trucking company bragging about how much fuel they’re using.

If they aren’t wasteful it’s a reasonable measure of work. If they spend 18 hours in a traffic circle not so much.

  • As soon as you quantify something (lines of code, tickets closed, tokens spent, whatever) it starts to be gamed and therefore ceases to be a reasonable measure of work.

Fuel per employee or fuel per delivered cargo? Tandem trailers get used where they make sense, and use more fuel per employee.
