Braun Industries: 4.0 TCR = 122% of Ambulance bodies manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 9y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Braun Industries safety composite

Braun Industries scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 67% of same-industry peers) and weakest on fatalities (safer than 51%), 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).
