1. A method for benchmarking pairing strategies in a task assignment system of a task assignment center, the method comprising:
- determining, by at least one computer processor communicatively coupled to and configured to perform benchmarking operations in the task assignment system, a first base cohort of a first plurality of historical task assignments for at least two pairing strategies for a first base period;
determining, by the at least one computer processor, a first performance difference between the at least two pairing strategies after a first measurement period based on the first base cohort, wherein the first performance difference is a performance gain attributable to utilizing a first pairing strategy of the at least two pairing strategies to optimize performance of the task assignment system compared to another of the at least two pairing strategies; and
outputting, by the at least one computer processor, the first performance difference for benchmarking at least the first pairing strategy of the at least two pairing strategies with respect to the another of the at least two pairing strategies.
