Does more volume mean deeper claims for W.c.?

Each dot is one of W.c.’s 8 nearest volume peers (same corpus rank neighbourhood as the chart above), placed by total granted patents (horizontal) against average claims per patent (vertical). W.c.’s own 10.5 claims/patent is at or below the 10.9 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.
