I often use “speed of light analysis” when talking about system engineering for a task, but I should probably find another term. I use it around questions like “what is the minimum latency for pass through video and synthetic frames in this architecture”, but “speed of light”

The right way to grade any technology is not comparing it to competitors (too easy), but comparing it to the limit of physics.
That is, for example, how we grade Starlink latency, which shows that there is still a *lot* of room for improvement!
Same for $/ton to Mars.
