The word "benchmark" means a standard or point of reference against which things can be compared or measured. It is often used to evaluate performance, quality, or progress. For example:
- In business, a benchmark could be a company's sales target or industry standard used to measure success.
- In computing, a benchmark is a test used to compare the performance of hardware or software.
- In general, it is any reference point used to judge or assess something.
If you'd like, I can provide examples of how "benchmark" is used in different contexts!
