Tried to? Revenue per head and profit per head are very easy metrics. Not sure I would count that as efficient though.

    Totally meta comment, but why is everyone here saying "per head" instead of "per capita"?

    Probably because "headcount" is a common HR term for the number of employees, and when people are talking "per capita" it might be more about the number of users or customers. The meaning is the same though.
