Seems to me that Dylan's awards were just to keep him engaged and calm. Not so much based on actual productivity.
Also, while there were 50+ goats in the room only 'the best' was picked. Not every baby goat is being sacrificed because they don't all meet the criteria.

I mean, possibly? But why would they go that far to keep him engaged and calm to the point that he is refiner of the quarter on multiple occasions? To me, I'd assume it's more likely that he's actually good at the job vs being given a pile of participation ribbons. That being said, IIRC Dylan is the one that mentions that MDR often only completes a few files, so you could be right.
I looked it up and I think he said only 1 of 5 files before they expire. No idea if that 1 file is technically Marks. I don't recall and I can't seem to find dialogue about whether Dylan and Irving have completed files and how many. I seem to recall Helly did complete a file at one point in season 1 and Irving kinda smiles at her and says something like, "The first of many" and then in a non-chalant manner goes back to work on his file? Am I misremembering?
I know we're also heavily assuming that what the others are working on must be very different than Mark S, because Gemma... but other than the fact Mark has gotten further than everyone else, maybe the work is not much different to Marks work?
