How to decrease a cognitive load on a dashboard component?

Any suggestions on how I can decrease the cognitive load on the example below? The development, benchmark, and amount of comments regarding each question are equally important for the user. I think to simplify the arrow icon and maybe the comments button? Any suggestions?

UPDATE:

In the end, I deleted pluses and minuses within comment buttons and development. I also simplified the development icon. This gave me more space so design looks cleaner.
