As a company stakeholder, I can look and test benchmarks between this project implementation and Firewood to see that there is an improvement in speed/performance

Acceptance test: Benchmark produces favorable results for this implementation over Avalanche blockchain Merkle Tree index store (Firewood)
Given: the Firewood implementation works
And: our project implementation works
When: the benchmark is ran against Firewood
Then: our project performs better (whether that be latency-wise, overhead, etc.)
