Why should you benchmark?

Anyone who works in user research knows their work can uncover an array of user insights which can inform business and design decisions, and ultimately help create a better experience for users. However, it can be difficult to quantify anecdotal experience, especially if you’re mainly running moderated tests and getting qualitative insight.
