Condensing boiler condensate flow

A foreman on a large construction project as me:
Can you gauge the efficiency of a Condensing Boiler by checking the flow rate of the condensate?
He said that the engineer wanted to see the flow between the boiler and the neutralizer, thereby requiring some clear piping to visually see the condensate flow into the neutralizer.
Never heard of this. Would humidity and outdoor temp. effect the rate of condensate? Can this really be measured to a point where an efficiency calculation can be made?
I'm thinking you have to have something to relate it (compare it) to.
Any thoughts?
