Estate-wide capability
Benchmark Context
Benchmark Context compares a governed case, decision position, or outcome record against anonymized data from opted-in cases in the same cohort. It does not predict. It contextualises.
What it is
Benchmark Context is an estate-wide capability, not a product. It is available wherever a governed case exists and opted-in data is sufficient. Basic comparison (aggregate outcome rates) is free. Advanced comparison (multi-dimensional, role, industry, organisation) requires Professional.
Anonymized cohort architecture
- —No individual case, user, or organisation is identifiable in benchmark output.
- —Only opted-in cases contribute. No case contributes without explicit consent.
- —Cohort data is aggregated at the pool level — never case-by-case.
- —Benchmark output is suppressed below n = 50. The system shows "Building" rather than publishing insufficient data.
- —Sample size is always disclosed when benchmark output is shown.
- —Outcomes are self-reported at the time of contribution. The system does not independently verify.
Minimum cohort
n = 50
Benchmark output requires at least 50 opted-in governed cases in the relevant cohort. Below this threshold the system shows "Building cohort" rather than publishing data. No benchmark claim is made below this threshold.
Comparison dimensions
Role comparison
Decision outcomes and time-to-act across opted-in cases with similar decision-maker roles.
Assessment type comparison
Outcome rates and time-to-act across opted-in cases of the same assessment kind.
Organisation comparison
Outcome rates and escalation frequency across opted-in cases with similar organisation profiles.
Industry comparison
Decision trajectory and outcome distribution across opted-in cases in the same industry.
Sector comparison
Sector-level outcome patterns across opted-in governed cases.
Governance maturity comparison
Governance maturity stage distribution and escalation thresholds across opted-in cases.
Team alignment comparison
Team alignment divergence scores and resolution rates across opted-in team assessments.
Professional governed-case comparison
Outcome rates, escalation patterns, and continuity metrics across opted-in Professional-tier governed cases.
Enterprise decision-readiness comparison
Enterprise readiness scores, authority gaps, and dependency exposure across opted-in enterprise assessments.
Retainer portfolio comparison
Portfolio-level outcome distributions and governance patterns across opted-in retainer engagements.
GMI call consensus comparison
Prior-call consensus rates and falsification records across GMI quarterly editions.
When the cohort is building
When the opted-in pool for a dimension is below n = 50, the system shows a "Building cohort" indicator rather than empty or misleading data. No comparison claim is made. No rate or percentile is shown. The indicator explains that context will appear when the pool reaches threshold.
Once the threshold is met, benchmark output appears automatically in Decision Centre for users with sufficient access tier.
All benchmark comparisons use anonymized, opted-in governed case data. No individual case, user, or organisation is identifiable in benchmark output. Outcomes are self-reported at the time of contribution. The system does not independently verify outcomes. Benchmark results are not a guarantee of results.
Where benchmark context appears
Benchmark Context is an estate-wide capability. It appears automatically within governed products when the relevant cohort has reached threshold.
Aggregate outcome rates (improvement, finding accuracy, recommendation usefulness) compared against all FAST_DIAGNOSTIC opted-in cases. Role-filtered comparison available.
