Benchmarking compares the performance of a product or service with a competitor. In a biofoundry context, capability benchmarking enables more effective use of development resources and furthering business development efforts. Biofoundries considering benchmarking activities are immediately faced with many implementation questions and decisions. While differing circumstances between biofoundries may lead to different answers to those same questions, a common framework for the benchmarking process is desirable. Perhaps the framework described here, and developed for the United States Department of Energy Agile BioFoundry, will be useful to other biofoundries around the world.
