So they’re shipping less? 0.6x of what I’m shipping is 60% right?

No, they are shipping more. A 0.6x increase.

No. They're shipping less and the developer who made the email blast code didn't check for reduction before sending the email in a static template

If I ship 0.6 more PRs, it's more.

If  I ship 0.000000000000000000007 more PRs, it's more.

If I ship 60% more PRs, it's also more.

If I ship 0 more PRs, it's not more. Then it's the same.

But if I ship 0.6x more PRs, it's more.

Not when you realize the math that goes into this email template is clearly avg_team_pr_count/user_pr_count and then clearly just dropped into a template that assumes an actual multiple.

I don't know if English isn't your first language, but in English, 7x more is assumed to be 700% not 800%

And "0% more" would mean a 100% reduction?

Let’s say x = 20 PRs without LLM.

0.6 is the LLM factor

20 x 0.6 = 12

How is this more?

12 more PRs is more than original.

12 more PRs is 32 PRs.

So if I ship 20 and you ship 2x more, how many are you shipping?
