The Earnings Multiplier compares a period with your own normal. Baseline is ×1.000: above it means the period was stronger than usual for you, below it means quieter.

It is built for comparing your own periods, not for comparing yourself with a colleague — two people in different roles have differently shaped weeks, and the number does not try to account for that.

It is also a separate measure from the productivity score, deliberately. The two use different formulas and are not expected to agree.
