Madam, - I find myself becoming more and more exasperated at the ever-increasing use of the phrase "roll out". You roll out a carpet, a bolt of cloth, or "the barrel".
You "introduce" a system. Were I with a friend and we met a person whom my friend did not know, would I say: "I'd like to roll out John Smith"?
Let's return to real, comprehensible English and drop this pretentious nonsense. - Yours, etc,

Madam, - Without my knowledge, has a new form of pastry been launched? I frequently hear, in the media, a reference to "rolling out BreastCheck".
Just as well it's being "rolled out" in the media as it doesn't seem to be possible to "roll it out" in too many other places. - Yours, etc,
