Looks like you have some junk data in there. I cannot believe that a
company can have 9,999,999 developers for a writer to directly work
with on one project.

That bogus number also skews the average for that question. I don't think
the average writer works with more than 22,000 engineers.


I downloaded her raw data into Excel, and found the bogus line.

The new totals show that the average size of the documentation team is 8.8, and the average writer works with 6.7 engineers.
