rebenchmarking
Resetting performance standards
Rebenchmarking is the process of establishing new performance standards or comparison points, typically after conditions have changed.
Organizations rebenchmark when previous metrics become outdated or irrelevant: After the merger, we'll need to rebenchmark our sales targets.
The term appears in business, computing, and any field where performance is measured against established baselines.
