The benchmarking piece is interesting because it changes what success means.
A parent seeing improvement over time and a parent seeing where their child ranks against others may react very differently to the same result.
I'd be careful assuming those are reinforcing signals. In some cases they may actually pull the product in different directions.

Every Saturday, volunteer coaches across Australia watch kids race — then write the time in a notebook, or don't write it at all.
I was one of them. When parents asked "how's my kid actually going?" I had no real answer
