Portfolio trajectory

Launching fewer products and retiring more than it adds. New launches 2014โ€“2023.

Launch rate: 14.5 new products/year in 2021โ€“2022, versus 32.333 in 2018โ€“2020.

The review snapshot ends in 2023, so a product last reviewed in 2022โ€“2023 is usually still active; earlier years are the real retirements.
