The verdict

Expal USA: 6.8 TCR = 208% of Ammunition (i.e., more than 30 mm., more than 1.18 inch) manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Expal USA safety composite

Expal USA scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 82% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 3%), 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).
