The contribution of the 4-day week on its own could be negative for productivity. It’s possible that without it you would have higher improvement to productivity than 40% due to the other changes in the experiment.
You don’t know whether you got that extra 40% by getting 20% from the change to a 4-day week and 20% from the other changes. Or -20% from the 4-day week and +60% from other changes. Or any other combination.
