What deserves attention first
The largest platform or market delta is usually the right first checkpoint before you spread attention across smaller gaps.

Operator takeaway
What this benchmark is useful for
Use the comparison to rank the most important gap, then hand the follow-up to the team closest to the local operation.
Confidence level
Useful, but still directional
There is enough evidence here to rank the main gap, but not enough to skip local validation.
Where the benchmark stops
The ranking is useful, but the cause still needs to be confirmed in the local workflow.
