Tower safety composite

Tower scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 50% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (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. This is a per-dimension breakdown, distinct from the single letter grade above it (which weights TCR alone against the BLS industry benchmark).

Tower has fewer employees than the Group homes, intellectual and developmen median and a higher injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 5.8.
