It isn't so much "poor" data as it is a fairly high bar for value generation. If it gets merged it is a fairly clear indicator that some value is created. If it doesn't get merged then it may be adding some value or it may not.

There's a numerator and a denominator. The numerator is fine for what you're saying -- the number of merged PRs.

The denominator varies wildly based on whether or not the PR is made. If codex makes nonsense, I don't ask it to make a PR.
