To be honest, I did back up my productivity guestimates now and again by
very carefully counting each page and the level of effort for each page.
That way I could check and see how well I had estimated the work. For the
record, I was pretty close, but the page counts usually were higher than the
guestimate.
My boss was ignorant of my methods, but happy with the result.
