Employee ownership insufficient data

Not disclosed. No company on the ledger yet publishes what share of its stock is held by rank-and-file employees. That silence is itself the finding.

What 20 to 1 would look like proposal

This is a Rebecca Ledger model, not a prediction and not something the company has said or done. It caps chief-executive pay at twenty times this company's own median employee, and changes nothing else.

Chief executive today verified	$60,551,052
Under a 20× cap proposal	$3,126,120 (20 × $156,306)
Difference calculated	$57,424,932
What the difference equals calculated	about 367 more employees paid at this company's own median

The arithmetic is the whole model: one year of the difference, divided by one median salary. It assumes nothing about taxes, share price, or whether the company would do it. It is meant to make a large number legible, not to predict a decision.
