AEM Inc: 0.4 TCR = 13% of Heads (e.g., recording, read/write) manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

AEM Inc safety composite

AEM Inc scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 93% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 46%), blended into one 0-100 breakdown against same-industry peers. A missing measure drops out and redistributes its weight rather than deflating the score. This is a per-dimension breakdown, distinct from the single letter grade above it (which weights TCR alone against the BLS industry benchmark).
