Uni-Bond Brake: 8.1 TCR = 149% of Brake and brake parts, automotive, truck, and bus, manufacturing BLS 5.4 · 4y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Uni-Bond Brake safety composite

Uni-Bond Brake scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 88% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 8%), 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).
