Form West: 1.8 TCR = 55% of Battery chargers, solid-state, manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Form West safety composite

Form West scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 52% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 19%), 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).
