Implications
The process of comparing the performance of a new product, service, or campaign against predefined standards or against similar launches, often used to assess success, identify best practices, and guide future launches by providing insights into what works well and what could be improved.
Example
Example: A consumer electronics company conducts launch benchmarking for its new smartphone by comparing sales figures, customer feedback, and market penetration against previous product launches and industry benchmarks, gaining insights to improve future product launches.
