I love a good pairing ladder. While there is no absolute good measure of productivity, a suite of thoughts observation can provide at least tripwires.

One major problem with tools that ask crafters to do data entry to show their value is that best people are most likely to refuse. You really need to focus on tooling to help capture what’s going on without toil.

For example, if your folks are remote and they use software to aid in pairing (eg Tuple), script the system to log the tuple sessions and perhaps even capture the pairing in the commits made together.

This can be used as an input to bring visible to be best leaders in your org.
