The Franklin Institute: 6.8 TCR = 220% of industry BLS 3.1 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)
The Franklin Institute safety composite
The Franklin Institute scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 81% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 17%), 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).
