Hicks Lightning Protection: 1.1 TCR = 39% of Low voltage electrical work BLS 2.8 · 6y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Hicks Lightning Protection safety composite

Hicks Lightning Protection scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 79% 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).
