Cortez safety composite
Cortez scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 94% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 45%), 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).

Cortez has fewer employees than the Pavement, highway, road, street, bridge median and a lower injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 3.0.
