Branch 3: 2.5 TCR = 115% of Hardware Merchant Wholesales BLS 2.2 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Branch 3 safety composite

Branch 3 scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 56% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 42%), 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).
