GIS Request Management Solution - Relative Effort for Team Members

I have spent some time setting up the GIS Request Management Solution for our organization, but I don’t fully understand this portion of the deployment:

Configure team member allocation gauge

The Planned Activities dashboard in the GIS Request Management Center includes a gauge element that shows the GIS team's capacity. When you deploy the solution, the element is configured for a team of three and an annual capacity of 2,080 hours per individual. The team member allocation must be configured to reflect your GIS team's size and annual capacity per individual.

To configure the team member allocation gauge element, complete the following steps:

Verify that you are signed in to your ArcGIS organization and browse to the Planned Activities dashboard.
From the item page, click Edit Dashboard.
Hover over the Team member allocation gauge element and click the Configure button.
On the Data tab, under Maximum value configure the value to equal the number of team members multiplied by 2,080 (for example, 4 x 2,080 = 8,320).
On the Gauge tab, under Guides, configure the guides as necessary for equal allocation based on the number of team members (for example., 4 team members = 4 guides at 25% each).
When you finish configuring the element, click Done.
Click Save.

The maximum value for total team member allocation seems fairly straightforward (4 team members at 2080 hours each = 8320 total hours), but the relative effort and the guides/gauge is a more confusing. If I have 4 team members that are not full time and will not equally contribute to the team allocation, how would I assign a proportion of the total to each team member? For example:

Employee #1: Full time = 2080 hours

Employee #2: Full time = 2080 hours

Employee #3: Half time = 1040 hours

Employee #4: Quarter time = 520 hours

The total allocation for the team would be 5720 hours, but each member’s contribution would not be 25%, it would be 36%, 36%, 18%, and 10% respectively. Are these the values I need to use to set the guides? If so, where would I set the relative effort of each team member?

@DaveMorrissey
This really is just a matter of preference since you are working with a different paradigm.
Maybe set the gauge to show the two FTEs and create a seperate gauge for each "special" case?
