Institute of Contemporary Art: 2.8 TCR = 90% of Art museums BLS 3.1 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Institute of Contemporary Art safety composite

Institute of Contemporary Art scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 57% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 30%), 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).
