PRINCETON: 9.0 TCR = 410% of Special purpose industrial machinery and equipment merchant wholesalers BLS 2.2 · 7y Form 300A (see methodology below)

PRINCETON safety composite

PRINCETON scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 75% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 4%), 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).
