Our most recent audit revealed an overall average Productivity Index (PI) of 22 (as defined by Larry Putnam in his Measures of Excellence: Reliable Software On Time, Within Budget).  This index is a management scale corresponding to the overall process productivity achieved by an organization during the main software build.  An index of 25 has been considered among the highest ever recorded.

Our project metrics have validated that our approach of hiring the top talent, combining them with a battle-tested methodology, and putting them in an environment that promotes high productivity really does work.  The metrics also validate the correlation between unusually high productivity numbers and project teams that were composed of very senior, experienced software professionals.  We are living proof of the statement “you get what you pay for”.
