Divide a total by the number of people it covers, so groups of different sizes compare fairly. It answers whether a big number is big because the activity is intense, or only because more bodies are counted.

Example

Your office step challenge: Sales logged 4.2 million steps, Engineering 1.8 million, so Sales looks dominant. Divide by headcount, 45 versus 14 people, and Engineering walks 12,900 steps per person against Sales's 9,300. The ranking flips.
