What problem does it solve? Founders often misuse generic benchmarks that ignore differences in definitions, cohorts, company scale, maturity, and business model, leading to false comparisons and poorly calibrated targets. This Skill establishes comparability before any benchmark is used in a decision or operating plan. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Benchmark Normalization: Adjusts external benchmarks for definitions, cohort selection, scale, stage, maturity, geography, and business model before comparison. - Target Calibration: Estimates ranges and uncertainty, explains non-comparability, and sets evidence-backed internal targets with confidence scores. - Decision Integration: Simulates options in the Business Digital Twin, ranks them by risk-adjusted value and constraint compliance, and produces plans with monitoring and escalation rules. - Use Case: A founder asks whether their SaaS gross margin is competitive. The Skill selects a comparable cohort by stage and model, normalizes the metric definition, estimates a calibrated target range, and recommends a plan with leading indicators and review dates. ## Quick Start Use benchmark calibration to evaluate whether our current KPI targets are comparable to industry benchmarks and set a calibrated internal target.
