Obion County Plant safety composite

Obion County Plant scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 70% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 11%), blended into one 0-100 breakdown against same-industry peers. A missing measure drops out and redistributes its weight rather than deflating the score.
