Detailing

Record-Level is a special kind of Past Level, the best Past of any similar project or System we know of. It's the world Record on the Scale we are working with. The Record-Level is a Benchmark. Benchmarking the industry or our own company, as the best ever achieved.

In project management, to be able to compete, both in being the best, and in controlling the costs, we need to know the internal and external Records in our field. If you are a security expert, or a usability expert, or a strength expert, or a reliability expert, you should know the Records numerically.

Rationale: Record is usually specified to demonstrate that such a Level is technically possible under certain specified Conditions, and to challenge us to strive to avoid, approach, meet or beat that Level, as appropriate.
Levels approaching state-of-the-art are useful to specify, because they tend to be costly and high Risk.
