Market Basket #2: 2.7 TCR = 79% of Supermarkets BLS 3.4 · 4y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Market Basket #2 safety composite

Market Basket #2 scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 81% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 49%), 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).
