4 products over 4 years works out to roughly 1.0 launches per year. Measured approach.
Sum of each product's engagement ratio divided by number of products. It weights every launch equally regardless of interest score. A founder with consistently high engagement across small launches will rank higher than one with one viral hit and many duds.
